Windows 10 gains momentum?? The automatic “forced” upgrades must have kicked in earlier than advertised.
Not surprising.
1) It’s the first time they’ve given it away for free.
2) It’s the first time they’ve been willing to hack into your computer and “upgrade” you almost without your knowledge or consent.
Windows 10 looks tempting, but I’m not sure I am willing to install this Microsoft spyware.
Since it took my company nearly 3 years to convert from XP to Windows 7, I can’t seem them converting to Windows 10 in any less time. Windows 10 would have to tested with 14,000 applications, and then installed on 260,000 PCs.
On a positive note: there will be a lot more customers to beta-test their software so all of the bugs should be known by the time they release version 11. Notice that I didn't say fixed.
MS also does a dishonest thing in counting upgrade numbers that may not apply in this case. When they field a new OS nobody wants, they eventually relent and include rights to “downgrade” to a previous (and better) version. Witness Win8 and 7 install rights. And that does help move the systems and licenses. BUT....let’s say that someone’s offering a machine for which they bought a Win8 license, but which you’re willing to purchase because they’ve already “downgraded” it to Win7. It shows up, it has Win7, and you’re happy, but MicroTruth still counts that as a Win8 adoption, since it was theoretically a Win8 license they sold to the PC maker.
If you force a user to get it.
What the heck, it was free.
They structured it that way, it isn’t like hardly anyone said “oh hey,,,,ive got to go buy that Windows 10!”.
They try to make it sound like everyone was lining up outside to get it.
I can’t imagine a company with an IT department moving to 10 this early.
What a crock.
I’m not a fan of Microsoft but I was happy with Windows 7. Eventually curiosity about Windows 10 got the best of me and I installed it on an old Dell desktop and an old ThinkPad. I was surprised when they both ran like new. After a month or so I installed Windows 10 on my new ASUS box. I have no complaints and as far as the spying goes I figure someone somewhere is spying all the time anyway. What the hell — it’s free and I have nothing to hide.
I installed it on my two laptops and like it.
I am holding off putting it on my main PC until the privacy and auto update problems are addressed.
When you’re giving it away for free, WTF do you expect ? And the spyware’s free too !

Pound people to death with free spyware.
Ping for your list???
