  9. The first of many? Microsoft sued over Windows 10

    It seems someone was so pissed off at being forced to upgrade she took Microsoft to court and won! Microsoft pays 10,000 after automatic Windows 10 installation

  13. Windows 10 Question about Playlists, and why I hate the way MS does things!

    Hi I'm still messing around with trying to get Cortana to play my music. I think it's like the map location thing, she doesn't get the info from Windows 10 about where the music is. So I started all over. I removed everything from my default music folder, except my iTunes folder. I created a...

  19. Windows 10 Why does Microsoft always make there Apps...

    Why does Microsoft always make their Apps a little harder to use and a little less useful? At least it always seems that way to me. I was just setting up edge to give it a try, and it's always just a little harder to do things than in Chrome. Like adding your links to the Favorites Bar, in...
