Mozilla CEO Slams Microsoft In Open Letter

“You can think of the free upgrade nearly as being a teaser – a free sample of the new operating system“.

Windows 10 is a case of Back to the Future. You can now have four apps “snapped” on the same screen, thanks to a new quadrant layout, plus Windows 10 also shows other apps running for additional snapping. I’m using Windows Hello, a new feature of Windows 10 that can log you in with your face instead of a password. Microsoft has now responded and will consider making changes based on the feedback they receive from users.

In the Philippines, Microsoft has partner dealers and retailers that will assist customers in upgrading/installing Windows 10 on their PC.

If you are foolhardy enough to install the attachment, you’ll be met with a chilling message saying your files have been encrypted and you’ll need to pay cold, hard cash to get them unlocked again.
