As far as I'm concerned the worst aspect of Windows 10 are the forced updates for "unmetered" Internet connection users. As it happens, many of us have wired connections that we pay through the nose for, and as long as MS won't give me an option to control the download of potentially massive updates, I'll continue sticking to my current 8.1. If this is back-ported to 8.1, I'll wipe my last install of Windows and go full-time Linux. MS has no business Forcing me to download stuff that I end-up paying for. The same goes for telemetry that will also presumably consume some fraction of my paid-for bandwidth.
- dragonwriter 10y agoThe metered/non-metered distinction is reasonable, and the behavior that results from it defensible, but the assumption that wired (Ethernet) LAN connections are unmetered is absolutely indefensible, for a number of reasons: 1) Wired WAN connections are, in fact, quite often quota-limited (perhaps with a generous cap, but still limited). 2) A Wired LAN connection may backed by a wireless WAN connection.
- voltagex_ 10y agoThere's a registry hack for setting wired to metered but I agree, it needs to be fixed. Are you able to add feedback (or +1 mine) on the Feedback Center?
