Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he'll win.

It's a free upgrade. Bitching about the version is insane. It was a marketing change they turned around on. It still meant you get a free upgrade which used to cost money.

Not if your PC doesn't support some arbitrary requirements. I can't upgrade because of the TPM requirement. There are ways to get around it. But at the same time Windows 11 isn't really something I want to upgrade to. It's got a bunch of crap I don't need or want. Not that Windows 10 didn't. Windows 11 is just worse and I've drawn a line.

I have to use Windows 11 for work so I know what I'm missing. Nothing. Well, the screenshot button being mapped to the snipping tool is nice. But there is already a shortcut for the snipping tool.

Hail the corporate god! Repent, for the end of Windows 10 is near!

Judging from your username, you also like those built-in AI features.

No, just an understanding how a court room works.

Win 11 is a downgrade with forced ms accounts, more ads, more distractions (tabloid "news", weather, more ads, Microsoft own product ads) added to task bar, edge and notifications. On an OS I already paid money for!

And? What does that have to do with a lawsuit? You're going to go into court and argue that? It's amazing how hard it is for some to stay on topic.

Ah got it, you are some AI bot trying to troll.

You're the one coming in here with some bullshit argument. Nobody was complaining about the price of the upgrade until you came along and went off topic.
