This Windows 7 User Wants Microsoft To Pay Him Rs 3834 Crore For Upgrading It To Window 10

Some guys in the United States is mad as heck at Microsoft. He really really hates Windows 10 and doesn’t want anything to do with it. And to get his old Windows 7 back, he’s prepared to go the distance.

Frank Dickman Jr, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday, accusing both Microsoft and its CEO Satya Nadella of “civil rights violations”. To clarify, he’s seeking compensation from both parties for infringing his rights when his Asus laptop automatically updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

And Dickman is very clear on what he wants out of the lawsuit. He’s demanding either $600 million, or a new copy of Windows 7.

According to the complaint, Dickman’s troubles began with his Asus 54L notebook, which shipped with Windows 7. He says the laptop automatically updated to Windows 10 and “became non-functional immediately”, whatever that means. Now, he’s demanding Microsoft provide him a digital download of Windows 7 along with an activation code. Failing that, he wants a crap ton of money from, the company, and he’s given Microsoft 30 days to make its decision.

“The only sensible remedy is for Microsoft Corporation to supply the OEM version of its operating system by download from its website and confirmed by the key code which came with the computer,” the lawsuit reads.

This is quite a zealous bit of litigation that’s probably not going to gain any traction in court. However, it makes Dickman’s feelings on the matter clear, and he’s certainly not alone. People all across the world have been annoyed by Microsoft’s forceful Windows 10 upgrade drive that was carried out just before it launched.

In fact, according to some reports, most people have preferred to stay with Windows 7 rather than upgrade, despite the OS being eight years old and less than two years away from its support ending.
