My feedback on this topic:
Microsoft's obvious objective is to destroy old computers. I understand the problem as MS sees it. My computer isn't broken, but you insist on fixing it anyway. Until you break it or set it up for some cyber-criminal to break it for you. And no matter how EVIL you get, there is nothing I can do about it. I hope to gawd I have purchased my last MS machine last year--but you have also destroyed my freedom to pick other options. Just too fricking bad I like freedom, eh? Just when I think I don't have to hate you so much...

shanen0 I'm sure the "you" you're referring to is Microsoft and not Susan Bradley. Susan is a long-time member of the IT community whose invaluable contributions have benefitted IT professionals everywhere. Susan isn't a Microsoft employee, yet she donates countless hours helping others to navigate the complexities of managing Microsoft products and services in an enterprise and small business environment. A true MVP.
We all understand your frustration, Susan included.

PRSGroupITNo, she seemed to make it fairly clear that she was speaking on behalf of someone else who apparently didn't want to be clearly identified.
