dixiegrrrrl's JournalWoman sues Microsoft over Windows 10 ...and wins $10,000. !
The update, which she says she didnt authorize, failed. Instead, the computer she uses to run her Sausalito, Calif., travel-agency business slowed to a crawl. It would crash, she says, and be unusable for days at a time.
I had never heard of Windows 10, Goldstein said. Nobody ever asked me if I wanted to update.
When outreach to Microsofts customer support didnt fix the issue, Goldstein took the software giant to court, seeking compensation for lost wages and the cost of a new computer.
She won. Last month, Microsoft dropped an appeal and Goldstein collected a $10,000 judgment from the company.

France will allow thousands of Calais refugees to cross Channel if UK votes for Brexit,
Wow......that is truly a BIG threat.
Emmanuel Macron said France could exit the 'Touquet' agreement that currently allows British immigration checks in Calais and Dunkirk.
The day this relationship unravels, migrants will no longer be in Calais, he said.
Current regulations mean that entry to the UK can be refused before entering the Channel Tunnel or boarding ferries, rather than once passengers exit on British soil the other side
.Moving the Border Force checks to the UK could mean that refugees would be the other side of the Channel before being discovered, giving them the right to apply for asylum and stay in the country until a decision is made.
