Prior to allowing microsoft to mess with her laptop, Kazal had a perfectly functioning laptop – following actions by microsoft, the laptop required Kazal to employ the services of an IT expert to get it working.
If Kazal were to make a small-claims against microsoft for damaging her laptop – I would be interested to know what their defence would be.
After all, if I was to infect Kazal’s laptop with a piece of software code that prevented it from functioning (and she could prove it), I would expect her to win a court case against me. The fact that microsoft does this regularly, would not be a valid defence IMHO.
