Okay, so the topic title is problematic, it's the best I could come up with.
The gist is I posted on the Microsoft website a query and they banned me for "content violations" - So I will posed the same question here.
Why should I upgrade to Windows 10?
Keep in mind I DO NOT own, operate or otherwise use the following:
A smartphone - phones are for phone calls, computers are for computing
Texting - if you want to talk to me RIGHT NOW, call me otherwise send me an email and I'll answer when I can.
Now Social media - I HATE Facebook, Twitter and such, if I cared what your friends, girlfriends dog was doing, I'd ask. Also, if I wanted my "friends and family" to find me, I would tell them where I am, your marketing department should not care. (Facebook should be outlawed because of this invasion of privacy alone)
Cortana - no smartphone, no smart-alack phone assistant.
Touch screen anything.
Cloud assisted media - I like my personal CDs, DVDs and files to not be tagged and delivered to the world, thank you.
Xbox - I don't own one
Now, it's not that I'm downing Windows 10, I'm not, it appears to be an upgrade of 8 via cranial-rectal removal surgery and that's a VERY good thing. But all of the reasons to upgrade that are part of their snazzy little ad campaign just make me think - useless (at least to me anyway). So IS there any reason for me to upgrade, even if it is free?
I realize that I sound like an old crotchety man, well I am.. So shut-up and get off my lawn before I hit you with my cane and call the cops... lol
