Who the fuck is Jerry Nixon?

Again, they gave you a free upgrade. What exactly are your damages (and no, "Microsoft lied" is not damage)?



Jerry Nixon is a senior project manager at Microsoft. He made that statement to the press.

> Speaking at Microsoft’s Ignite conference in Chicago, developer evangelist Jerry Nixon said: “Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.”

Doesn't matter. They pulled a bait and switch. They refund all Windows10 license purchases which were predicated on the expectation of Windows 10 being the last version.

The time period would be from the first time they officially made that claim, all the way till the official announcement of Windows11.

They shouldn't get to claim "This is the last version we will ever release, there will never be anything better", then turn around and shit on the statement.


> Doesn't matter

In civil court, damages are the only thing that matters.


Fraud is both a criminal and civil matter.


Then it seems your time would be better spent convincing your local D.A. to prosecute, rather than simply complaining to random people on the internet. Best of luck!
