This is so sad. I dont need a new version of windows no matter how fancy. I dont need more ways to put it to sleep. I dont need windows second guessing me. I simply want windows to stop viruses and adware. My computer works fine as is. Spend the millions of dollars on protection. But, No, cant do that. Stockholders and the almighty dollar are more important. Remember the old saying, "build a better mouse trap and they will beat down your door to buy it"? Well just take care of Viruses, Adware, Hijackers and junk email and THAT I will buy! This is just further proof that Gates and Microsoft have forgotten what made them who they are, US the little people. Simple and User Friendly went out after Windows 98se. Thank God they still put power off switches on power strips!
