Windows 10 is a great operating system. It has great features and it’s an ambitious bet for convergence and platform unification. The problem is that once again Microsoft has had big trouble selling its product.
The message was neither clear nor complete. The user was the girl wanting to be conquered. Windows 10 was the aspiring boyfriend.
But it became a boring boyfriend.
It has been unclear on its privacy policy, but it also has been too persistent on trying to conquer that girl. And girls get pretty tired of annoying boys. Those continuous attempts to make users upgrade from their old Windows 7/8/8.1 systems have been more and more irritating, but this final effort has been too much.
Most girls will say no to the annoying boyfriend. The problem is, many of them could decide they finally want to give this boy and opportunity. And after July 29th they’ll have to pay.
I wonder how many of them will cry out loud and complaing again. At first it was privacy and annoying messages. Later on they will complain about the boy not being free anymore.
