Yeah, and while we are at it, why does microsoft trap your back button on their website, so when you click "back", it just goes to a page called "continue" and puts you right back on the same page again. This has been going on for at least a decade.

Another one, get an error in Windows and a box pops up saying "click here for more information on this problem". You click it and get a microsoft page saying "no information available". This has been going on for at least 15 years. And then you are stuck in the "continue" loop. It's like they are punishing you for using their products.

ONLY MICROSOFT DOES THIS. They hate people. They must really hate people. There is no way this could be going on for over a decade unless it was deliberate.
