Ok, having to scrap an excellent hp laptop that had vista (did not buy it in a month that Microsoft thought they had to offer free upgrades to W 7) My doorstop was not past it's prime. If car companies treated customers like window does, the brakes would fail at 4 years and the 40 page online agreement would say that the purchaser would not be able to hold the auto mfg. liable for intentional brake malfunction. Kind of like GM screwed Americans by filing for bankruptcy, getting federal funding and saving 10 cents on the ignition switch that killed many people. Microsoft and GM could be good companies, they choose not to be.
