Could Tesco be prosecuted for misleading information? In the Electronics section of the district store which I use there are large display cards all over the lap-top computers for sale which proclaim "Windows 10 is here".

Closer examination reveals quite a small sticker on each which says :- Loaded with Windows 8.1. Windows 10 is available as a free down-load".

I think this is a shabby way to sell a new product. Why couldn't they wait until the computers were actually Windows 10?

Those who, for any reason, don't want to connect their computer on the net will, indeed, not have the announced version.
