Delightful @Microsoft #Windows10 Upgrade Experience

Figured it wouldn’t make sense to pass up a $200USD free upgrade from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Pro so I clicked “Yes” and the download began.

In other words: it changes how you think by impairing your brain’s ability to heal.

Salutogenesis

Salutogenesis is a term coined by Aaron Antonovsky,[1] a professor of medical sociology. The term describes an approach focusing on factors that support human health and well-being, rather than on factors that cause disease.
