I have a feeling that for many/most of those who feel MS 'needs to restore their image' even that wouldn't have any effect on same. Some people just love to hate.....and who better to hate in the world of OS and productivity software than MS?
As targets go they're fun....
Apple is just too easy...
Yeah, and the new iPhone ad on TV prompts immediate aversion to Apple products. Every time it comes on I immediately think of Kevin Bloody Wilson's song: "Hey Operator".... and its famous line, which [for non-Aussies] goes something like this: "Stick that f**king iPhone up yer f**king arse...."
Okay, so I added the i bit to phone, but no wucking furries, it don't miss a beat. Also: warning, link leads to song with frequent use of the f-word, so if you're easily offended don't go there.
Anyhow, back to Windows 10 and why I've not had a dabble with it yet. Being that my current accommodation is just temporary I figured it's probably not worth setting up my desktop rigs here. I'm currently using Shaunna's laptop because I can't find the charger for my little 11" touch screen one, which is flat as a tack but has ample space on a second partition for Win 10 when I find the adapter [in one of the many boxes].
Oh, and as for the haters, they'd be the first ones to bitch about them no longer being there if MS suddenly shut up shop and called it a day.
It's like how the old saying goes, you just can't please some people... and if they read/hear something is crap there's no turning them around.
