I could not say it better than Josh, I am furious after
spending thousands of dollars on all of this over-priced
but essential hard and software, that I cannot prevent
these insidious and nerve-grinding pop-ups. Why is it
that every product upgrade that we are forced into buying
is just a new and improved way of trying to sell us
something. And now they've figured out how to do it when
we aren't even on the internet. I'm about ready to go
get a Mac to match my unbelievably beautiful Apple
Monitor. Microsoft should be ashamed!!! Can somebody
stop this? Jeff
