Subject: RE: Tech: WXP to W10 questions?
The issue of MS basically taking control of the vast majority of computers, laptops, notepads and other digital devices is actually alarming if you extrapolate the implications. Apart from pi$$ing off users especially professionals whe unannouunced updates and restarts occur; there is the issue of MS installing software on these millions of digital devices without the full knowledge of the recipients as what these updates actually do and what the code contains.

Already MS has issued a driver update that basically screwed millions of computers world-wide. This doesn't say much for their quality control. But what if such a screw up was deliberate?

We can imagine Silicon Valley and Redwood etc. being populated by highly paid and trained college graduates who know what they are doing. However the on-going unprofessional changes by Yahoo on Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Groups etc. has alerted its majority of users that developments aren't as professional as expected.

I have wondered why Microsoft would want to deliberately pi$$ of a large number of Windows users. I can't help extrapolating the implications and I found this expose - cheap labour from overseas:
