Windows 10 Four Big Lies Pt 1/3

Lies told by MSFT re Windows 10 proved live in their IFA screens!  

For the source text:

* 14 million devices SINCE LAST OCTOBER when the Insider program opened, blogpost by MSFT's own marketing VP, Yusuf Mehdi, https://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/07/30/windows-10-the-first-24-hours/ .  Notice he's not claiming 14 million in 24 hours, but the pundits all do.  So spin on a spin and NO corroborating independent evidence: but still, not over 24 hours.

* 75 million devices SINCE LAST OCTOBER when the Insider program opened, TWEET by MSFT's own marketing VP, Yusuf Mehdi, http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/08/26/windows-10-now-on-75-million-devices/  .  Disingenously used as if independent evidence though it's not, in the IPA slide show, as shown in http://www.pcworld.com/article/2980327/windows/microsoft-trumpets-windows-10s-momentum-at-ifa.html (main frame of this video is the PC World article photo)

So the video asks the following questions:

* 75M SINCE WHEN?  Well, really since last October, which is conveniently omitted, so you're left thinking 75 million in 5 weeks.
* What does it mean, 'running'?  That's not a sale, nor an activation, but phoning home the first time Windows 10 attempts to install?  Lots of installs BORK or are REVERTED.  So if MSFT counts only DOWNLOADS as if 'running', including OEMs who contracted SINCE LAST OCTOBER to get LICENSES -- well, that's very different.  So the vague 'running' leaves a non-thinking reader to imagine 75 million people activating Windows 10 in only 5 weeks!

*90K models of devices.. So? Oh,they snow you with another big number, as the first big number proves prevarication, under scrutiny.  It's not relevant how many models of devices.

*So now time for the big blooper, 122+ YEARS of Xbox.  Really? Xbox is as old as gaslight in the Gay 1890's?

*So now time for another blooper to cover up that one, 192 COUNTRIES use Win10.  Yeah, one guy in Sri Lanka, another in France, a third in Andorra, a fourth in Monte Carlo... yikes.

How desperate are they, to falsely advertise FREE software?  For lies like these can only mean desperation. 

Snooping Telemetry coupled with these sleight-of-hand numbers and press spin, covered here (so you can tell whether I'm lying, lol): http://brainout.net/frankforum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5  .  If you find contrary objective evidence, please post there, so everyone can have benefit of it.

EULA proves MSFT is out to monetize the desktop, how it plans to make money on YOUR PRIVATE DATA, official License text, highlighted official links here: http://brainout.net/frankforum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=59#p73

Google search on 'Windows' and 'monetize the desktop', a goal since Windows 8 which Windows 10 continues with even bigger data slurping (to ape how Google makes its money).

Also, see these links for Windows 10: http://www.computerworld.com/article/2856120/free-windows-not-a-chance.html , and

When reading the above articles, focus on the MSFT source info, not on the pundit writing the article.  You want to look at SOURCE TEXT, not spin.  Any brainout can repackage, but without the source you can't analyse for yourself.  It's YOUR life, and you don't want to believe lies.. do you?

The Lenovo Win7 machines downgraded from Win10 are now sold out, the link I had two weeks ago, doesn't work anymore.  So now the Win7 machines are sold via downgrade rights from Win8.  But you can still see it use 'downgrade rights' for any remaining Windows 7 machines it sells new.  Because, the legal deadline for selling new, ended 2014;  but due to the 'downgrade rights' clause, Win7 can still be sold as the initial install.  Presumably you can call Lenovo directly to confirm, so don't take my word for this, since I have nothing independent of my own hearsay now, to show you.

Dell's use of downgrade rights is provable in video (following next); then you'll know how to search on HP's 'downgrade rights' marketing pitch, too.  So you can see for yourself.  SOURCE TEXT never just hearsay, ok?

So they're using Win10 licenses to sell earlier Windows, not Win10.  If you see contradicting evidence, let me know -- please use the frankforum link, which gets more traffic so your presentation gets better heard.
