Windows 10 will force updates onto your computer

July 21, 2015 by Alan Stainer

Windows 10 will force updates onto your computer

Windows 10 is due out next Wednesday and only now are we hearing about this? Say goodbye to having control of your Windows PC.

Originally shared by Linux News Here

Forget that the folks at #Microsoft were wrong about the “Start” button and the interface formally known as Metro. It seems they’re still convinced they know what’s best for their users. So much so that the new #Windows, due to be released next week, will have users click off on an #EULA that pretty much gives Redmond carte blanche to update the system at will, which will include updating apps as well as Windows itself, with no real way to opt out — except for users of the Enterprise edition.

    Doh! That is not good and I think another nail in the Microsoft coffin. People tend to like to be asked and not forced into things.

    It reminds me of the fiasco that was XBox One requiring users to log in via the internet at least once every 24 hours. That and the camera that was always on and watching. Oh and not to mention the other fiasco about sharing games, or not as the case may be.

    Just another Microsoft stunt that will backfire.
