which trashed so many computers and left people in difficult situations.

This new CEO didn't care how many people he inconvenienced as long as he could get his advertising friendly, telemetry-ready Win 10 onto enough computers that they could brag about Win 10's market penetration.

The new Win 10 "Creator's Update" also trashed a number of computers.

MS says that Win 10 is supposed to be better for older computers. My wife's computer would start up in 30 seconds under Win 8.1. It's more than a minute under Win 10.

I don't give a damn about this wealthy man's personal life. He doesn't care about us.
