The problem was getting worse. Adoption of Windows 8 was incredibly slow.
The free upgrade strategy was meant to cure a lot of ills and save Microsoft money by ditching legacy compatability. But they have been very aggressive to users and have used sneaky tricks to get people to upgrade.
In some instances they have overstepped the line and now they must pay.

Gromit, I always take the OSX upgrades early but I've had to wait this time because there are issues with the drivers for my Rane SL2 box.
If you're not sure what a Rane box is it is an amazingly clever gadget that lets me DJ with my MacBook, controlling it from my Technics turntables...

My computer ( relatively new) told me it was upgrading to 10, so I told it not to. This happened several times, until one day it told me it had, in spite of all my attempts to stop it, successfully installed 10. Then it asked me to accept 10, which I refused to do. It then told me it was reinstalling the old stuff, which it apparently did. It seemed to take ages to "reinstall". I wonder if all this really happened, or if it was just a ploy ?
