Although force-upgrades are definitely too much, I wonder why such a strong opposition to upgrade t a much better OS in every way?
It certainly cannot be privacy, because you can turn off every piece of phone-home stuff. Also, almost every other OS has been doing the same thing for a long time now, so it seems a bit of an overreaction when Windows does it.
This sort of no-upgrades policy is what leads to IE6. And the entire world has to suffer because of a few obstinate sysadmins.

- dingo_bat 11y agoI definitely can! I have options for everything including Cortana to the automatic malware reporting.
- ionised 11y agoUnless you have Enterprise their are still telemetry options that cannot be turned off entirely, and there is diagnostics and usage data not covered by any of the user settings that still leaks from the OS back to Microsoft. If you want to block them as well you need to do it with a firewall rules (like a third party software firewall on whitelist mode).
