About this tag
The tag 'bait and switch' on WindowsForum.com covers discussions where users feel misled by a product or service that does not deliver on its initial promise. One thread describes a user who downloaded a Windows Release Preview Evaluation Copy, only to have it expire and require payment for the full version, with no option to revert to Windows 7 and loss of previous files. Another thread references a legal case where 'bait and switch' is used to describe a for-profit education program. These examples highlight user frustration with perceived deceptive practices in software and business offerings.
