Analysis and ARRRRRGH!
I downloaded the iso after not being able to download the web version.

I installed it, went through the instructions, even checked their little how do I decide links. Checked the safest ones - some of htem told me I'd have to reinstall my programs if I used that option. I sure didn't want that. It set up and connected to the internet. So far so good.

After messing with it for awhile, I decided I'd seen enough. So I looked around for how to uninstall it. No joy there.

I went to Microsoft. Had a quick look around, and found out that you can't uninstall it, you have to reinstall your old system software and all your programs. It's crazy, they break all the installed programs by moving them into an old programs folder. If it kills them, why not just erase them because you're never going to use them again.

Dealing with Microsoft is like Lucy and Charlie Brown, and the football. It's always "This time it'll be great" But you always pull the football away, Lucy!" "No I won't, I promise, come on and try it" So you do, and she pulls away the football at the last moment, and you fall down.

By the way, the interface and OS is pathetic. The only thing I liked was the little goldfish.
