From the article: > This means that the ability to pick and choose individual fixes to apply will be removed; they'll be distributed and deployed as a singular all-or-nothing proposition. So, if this "update" contains the Windows 10 nagware or all that fancy new "telemetry" that I definitely do not want, I don't have an option... I currently run Windows 7 on a VM on OS X, using it only to (a) digitally sign documents since the hardware key that is provided only works on Windows, and (b) do my annual IT returns with an Excel utility that again, only runs on Windows. Looks like (b) is no longer an issue - there's now a Java utility that does the same thing. Now if only I had a way out of (a), I'd get rid of Win altogether.
