Well, if you sue them, do it well he must have thought. An Albuquerque man is suing Microsoft because of a failed forced Windows 10 upgrade, in return seeking a cool $600 million, yes .. six hundred million dollars in damages.
According to a civil complaint filed on February 14, Frank K. Dickman Jr. of Albuquerque, New Mexico, is suing Microsoft because of a botched forced Windows 10 upgrade. His lawsuit gives Redmond 30 days to give him the software or pay more than a half a billion in damages from a default judgment.
"I own a ASUS 54L laptop computer which has an OEM license for Windows Version 7," Dickman's claim reads. "The computer was upgraded to Windows Version 10 and became non-functional immediately. The upgrade deleted the cached, or backup, version of Windows 7." Dickman says that the laptop's original OEM vendor is "untrustworthy," hence, he cannot obtain a legitimate copy of Windows 7 to downgrade his laptop.
"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," Dickman's filing read.
"Failure of Microsoft Corporation and its CEO (Satya Nadella) to provide this function within thirty days of the provided summons should yield a payment from the two defendants to the plaintiff of a remedy... of six hundred million dollars."
Man, Intel is likely in for a treat after he learns about the Meltdown/Spectre drama eh?
