You're lucky. I'm doing okay -- I only get bugged once or twice a week. A few friends and family members report daily "reminders". It may be something about the applications they run.
> Question for you. Do Apple OSX systems ask if you want to upgrade from an older OS version? I’m not complaining about Apple, I think I’d be happy to be told.
Well, my MacMini is on 10.9 Mavericks, and the only time I see anything about upgrading the OS is when I specifically go to "Software Update" (the moral equivalent of Windows Updates) and ask what's available. At the top of the page of available upgradable software is a pretty picture and a few lines saying that "El Capitan" is wonderful:
If I click "Learn More" I can read about it at my option. If I click "Free Upgrade", it presumably takes my down that path. If I do nothing, it's as though I never saw it, since it doesn't chase me down and keep reminding me.
> It seems to me this thread is a joke, because who wouldn’t want to be reminded that something newer (and FREE) is available? So whether I was running a Apple, Linux or Windows OS, getting informed periodically about upgrades is at worst, a VERY minor annoyance, or at best, a helpful tip. Getting it multiple times a day? No. If you are, something is broke.
What's broke is Microsoft's Marketing Department. This is a historical fact, details on request.
The things that piss people off the most seem to be:
- Having once told Microsoft that you're not interested in Windows 10, they should STFU for at least a month.
- They should not, in any case, try to trick you into downloading the upgrade using the same techniques used by scammers. It looks real bad.
