What the **** has this got to do with Windows 10 users?* They are already using Windows 10 so why should they waste time reading your crap? Hey dip**** troll, I, unlike you, read the article and found some things I didn't know about Windows 10. How long have you been an asshole asshole? |

Micro$oft needs to promise with their blood if not their life that Win 10 updates would NEVER touch users' data again, ever! Did you know that back up is a computer user's best friend? Backup is no protection against *silent* data loss/corruption. But heh, if System Restore can silently clobber user's data [1], then why can't Windows 10 updates!? :-( [1] See current thread 'No response from my W7' in alt.windows7.general. |

Not if you back up a bug. Steve You have your choices. Backups (a crapshoot). or Nothing (a guaranteed crapshoot). ******* Did you know, that backups can even tell you that you have bad hardware ? I ran a verify on a Macrium MRIMG and it failed. I checked a number of them, and noticed a pattern to the failures. It turned out bad RAM in the computer I'm typing on, caused the MRIMG files to be damaged. And the damage was detectable by running "Verify". Even when you're not using the backup, it can have "benefits". Paul |

And should I cite business ethics and social responsibilities? Sure. Sue them. But your data is lost. Even if you win in court, your data is lost. I remember, decades ago, reading the legalese of software I bought. I was young then, eager to read and find out. Basically, they said they did not accept any responsibility for lost data or failure to perform or to do the job we needed done. -- Cheers, Carlos. |
