He won't get anywhere. Be nice if he did.

This would have been much better if it had been a class
action lawsuit

And another class action lawsuit to included all the botched,
forced Windows 10 full reinstall upgrades as well.

And maybe another one for lost downtime for all the
forced full reinstall updates.

FROM that story..

This is not the first lawsuit Dickman appears to have filed recently.
According to a search of the Colorado court database, Dickman has
filed several different lawsuits on a variety of matters.

I don't get what the fuss is about, because this would give him
exactly what he wants/demands and hence settles the lawsuit:

'Download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO Files)'
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7

This would have been much better if it had been a class
action lawsuit

And another class action lawsuit to included all the botched,
forced Windows 10 full reinstall upgrades as well.

And maybe another one for lost downtime for all the
forced full reinstall updates.


BTW, what *is* this 'Windows 10' thingy you guys keep talking about!? :-)

Why, it's the latest spyware from the monopolists in Redmond, of
course. Didn't you always wish to be shown ads, even when you're not
on the Web? 8)

maybe he should install linux instead. then he can come to
friendly places on the internet like this and get all the social
crowd sourced help he needs.

It's a screensaver they use at Best Buy.

And if you're having trouble telling the staff in the
photo, from the "customers", the "customers" are the
ones who refuse to tuck in their shirts.

I don't get any ads. I read the screens during setup and turned
off all the reporting and personalization options too.
