Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 (lifehacker.com)

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.

I liked Vista. Aero Glass was cool.

Nah they peaked at NT4.0! Fight me! I remember using that for my dual core celeron system! Abit BP6 FTW.

(I agree with you about 2k, but I liked XP and loved the look of Vista so what do I knowโ€ฆ)
