Windows 10 'App Store' Stole My Money.

So I work a 40 hour work week, sometimes more, same as anyone, on my feet, all day.

I get home, buy a little $3.99 app. Won't install. Check it again won't install. I check some guides. Follow all the standard commands, my purchase won't install. Use the tools. won't install.

Naturally I sent off what I'm good at, some hate filled invective

For fucks sake. I'm exhausted, have insomnia and want to wind down. And here microsoft is killing 32bit libraries to dispose of competing services like steam (also fuck gabe in his fat asshole) but I digress.

And they expect us to use their services? Spend our hard earned *fucking money*..and spend half an hour on their dumpster fire fucking 'walled garden' with nothing to fucking show for it?

No refund button. No chat option. Just a fucking feedback hub. Look at it some time. JUST LOOK AT IT. The motherfucking *feedback* hub *frozeup* in the process of my feedback. Microsoft is a sewer of negligent business practices and incompetence.

So I've chosen now to aim two heavy ion cannons at them and warned them too. Two twitter accounts, one with almost 10k followers and another with 15k.

Should have just offered a manual download button microsoft.

My money would have been better spent on alcohol. Cheap alcohol. It's not like it's a lot of money and I don't buy a lot online, but it's the principle. You're fucking *payment* process worked *just fucking fine*.

Anyway can anyone calculate the monetary damage a cumulative quarter million views over the course of a month will do to the reputation of the windows store in dollar amounts?

I'm betting it's going to be a lot fucking more than three fucking ninety nine.

Don't worry microsoft, I'm gonna take it out of your sweet fucking hide.

    Wait, are you actually DOS-ing a site for 3.99? Are you crazy?

    No, just gonna make the news with 'windows 10 store plagued by poor management screws another customer' as a headline.

    @Wisecrack I see. Thought you meant ion cannon in some other way.
    Give them hell, no proper way to get a refund is unacceptable.

    There's something in that shit stain "store" to actually waste money on?

    I've done nothing with that thing besides disabling the auto-install's of bullshit like candy crush.

    @flake do you really believe the fairy tale that automatic repair and problem solving works in any m$ product?

    @ilikeglue I had it working twice. Once for resetting my network card that somehow didn't work anymore, and the other time it told me that there is a Wifi switch at the side of my netbook that I need to turn on for using Wifi.

    Theres a couple of small indie devs who do good work and I've supported in the past.

    Still baffled why in the fuck they chose the windows 10 store route though.

    I should send YOU $3.99 for this comment. Gave me a little chuckle.

    I was a wee lad when I played it though, and I only played red alert.

    I was too busy growing up to do anything except collect dirty mags from used storage auctions and scamming old people at flea markets.

    I'm not proud of the magazines. On account I threw them away eventually instead of selling them but I digress. One mans trash!

    @Nanos bit weird.
    With specs like that you should be fine, can't see ram being an issue unless it's capped somehow.
