Peter2 writes: I'm getting distinctly annoyed with Microsoft. Every day now, I'm getting at least one message asking me to upgrade to Windows 10. I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10. Some of my friends have already been down this route, and have hit the dreaded "Something happened" error. Matters have not moved on from there in any happy way, and at least one of my friends has gone back and re-installed Windows 8. Have none of these clowns at Microsoft ever heard of the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't mend it?" *mutter, mutter* OK, rant over!
