Microsoft will pay 10 thousand dollars for upgrading to Windows 10

The persistence of Microsoft, with which the corporation introduces its new operating system Windows 10, frustrates many users. In the vastness of the Web, there are complaints from dissatisfied people who report that they are literally forced to upgrade the Windows operating system to the latest version. Yes, many people do not see anything wrong with the update, they gladly accept the offer and are happy about the opportunity to get new software for free, but among them there are those who do not want to update and are used to their Windows 7 or 8.1, so regular offers to download a new operating system derive them from themselves and discourage.

"Terry Goldstein, the owner of a travel agency, never asked Microsoft to update her anything, and, in her assurances, she did not hear anything about Windows 10," the Seattle Times reported. What was her surprise when she once found on her computer the latest version of the operating system from Microsoft, which, in addition, also began to regularly fail, leading the hostess of the computer out of herself. After all, the constant malfunctioning of the computer is definitely not what the owner of a small but profitable business needs.

Goldstein said that the computer for several days was unsuitable for work, so she turned to Microsoft technical support for help, but this did not give the desired result. Therefore, she decided to go to plan B and filed a lawsuit against the corporation, demanding compensation for the damage she suffered as a result of computer problems. The amount of damage consisted of the cost of wages and the cost of a new personal computer with a good and stable operating system Windows 7 installed on it.

The lawsuit against Microsoft was satisfied by the court, as a result, Mrs. Goldstein should receive compensation in the amount of $ 10,000. In Redmond, they hastily stated that they did not admit guilt, but made concessions in order to avoid prolonged legal proceedings, and continue to study the incident that occurred with the owner of the travel agency.

Now, learned from the bitter experience, experts will certainly work to make the upgrade to Windows 10 less intrusive.
