Re: [Rant] Geeksquad Stinks!

Yeah, it does suck. In some ways, I hate to say it, but if people won't listen and are dumb enough to call these places then they sorta deserve it, but at the same time I don't get why these places have to basically steal from people just because of the customers lack of knowledge I mean, heck, they tried to sell my Aunt freeware (not open source freeware either)!!

They (Geeksquad) are also now being sued by Winternals for pirating their software!! ROFL, ironic they rip everyone off including other Companies, lol. I know the Judge granted Winternals the restraining order against Geeksquad, so this stuff must be legit enough for a Judge to do this. »www.winternals.com/legal/

I have also since heard about possible Class Action Lawsuits against Geeksquad for violating customers privacy rights by removing pictures and such off their computers while repairing them, but I can't seem to find out whether this is true or not.

Some of these people are elderly and they don't deserve to be exploited because of lack of knowlege.
