There are lawsuits open about windows 10 destroying user data. Windows of all flavors has given me nothing but pain. Microsoft is not the benchmark of quality software. Most of their real innovations are in the business model space.

At least people know who to sue when Windows destroys data, not sure who to sue when distribution X does it.

In what system can you sue when something some came at no cost, no warranty (express or implied) and in a good faith effort to help everyone at the personal expense of the developer?

If that system exists, it sounds disgusting and unethical. Paying for something changes the nature of the transaction.

When can people sue Apple for HFS+ issues. Those must be multiple of times higher then anything caused by Windows 10?
