Lol, relax, trust me they don&#039;t care. The profit they make off Windows 10 is greater than you purchasing it yourself. If they were loosing money they would end the program, or at least ensure that people even have disabilities.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://news.thewindowsclub.com/microsoft-block-free-upgrade-assistive-tech-85266/#comment-6148&quot;&gt;Boohoohoo&lt;/a&gt;.

OK, let me understand this correctly. Everyone, whether needing assistive technologies or not, had the same open window to get the free Windows 10 upgrade. And Microsoft offers people who need an assistive technology to use their computers some extra time to get their free upgrade. But because of some  A**HOLES, MORONS, and IDIOTS who, for whatever reason, didn&#039;t get the upgrade when it was available to them, decide to LIE about being disabled so they can CHEAT Microsoft out of a few bucks and STEAL the upgrade, Microsoft decides to pull the offer back. Instead, they make it so that the people who have to use assistive technologies (and have a difficult enough time using their computer already) now have to go through the additional hassle of contacting Microsoft&#039;s  Disability Answer Desk and  probably go through some humiliating process of verifying just how disabled they are, all so they can get some software that they otherwise could have gotten just by using an honor system. 

You may ask why didn&#039;t they just get it during the open window that everyone else had? Well, I  guess they could have, except that&#039;s the funny thing about needing assistive technologies. For example, maybe some of them were LEGALLY BLIND and could not SEE THE NOTICES about the WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE. It doesn&#039;t matter why. What matters is that -- and I can&#039;t believe I am saying this -- Microsoft tried to do the right thing and extend a hand to some people who are usually ignored by corporations, but instead of being screwed by the corporation, these people ended up getting screwed by &quot;some&quot; (maybe a handful, certainly not a large number) of their fellow Americans. These people saw that something was set up on an &quot;honor&quot; system and, having no idea what an HONOR SYSTEM IS, figured that it&#039;s only STEALING if you get caught.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Boohoo Microsoft... heaven forbid you try and ram this version of Windows down everyones throats, then pull the free upgrade when you finally get it stable.

This method above still works just fine for the non disabled, and infact is discrimination to offer it free to only disabled persons.]]></description>
