I'm a little confused. This was well-known long before MS stopped the free upgrade program, so why are people only now complaining? What would the breaking point look like, exactly? They've already got millions of copies installed. What are you going to do, give Microsoft more money to go back to 7 or 8, which will then not work with newer hardware?It's as though Microsoft is trying to see just how much it can get away with before people reach breaking point.
It looks like the author is making a call to arms that this is the breaking point moment that everyone knew was coming. It's time for things to change, but will Microsoft listen? Maybe people will get fed up. But it's more likely to happen if there's one big problem instead of many tiny niggling problems.It might feel as though we're going over old ground here, and we are. Microsoft just keeps letting us (and you) down, time and time and time again.
That I agree with. But I again wonder what "giving up" will actually look like.
