- scholia 10y agoAgreed, that was really bad, and there should be repercussions ... However, I've updated half a dozen PCs to Windows 10, including two on the last day. One of those was my wife's, and she has no technical expertise at all. What I can say for certain is that I have never seen a forced update, and I have never been able to install Windows 10 without agreeing to the EULA.

- userbinator 10y agoThe funniest phrase there is "Over 300 million people have already upgraded" --- whether or not they actually wanted to is not mentioned. It reminds me of early 2000s spyware which had similar phrasing: "X people have already installed SuperAwesomeWebToolbar, what are you waiting for?"
- myrryr 10y agoit wasn't a notification, it was DOING something.
- wvenable 10y agoIt's a notification that something will happen later -- like all notifications. Look, Microsoft pushing Windows 10 upgrades is really annoying but that doesn't mean one has the skew the facts to make it seem worse than it is. It took me many clicks to install Windows 10 despite being nagged about it for 12 months.
