Here's your Windows 10 auto-install -- whether you want it or not ... PING!
You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".
Those who are computer savvy, and enterprise customers, will know how to avoid this. But the vast majority of Windows users who had wanted to stay with Windows 7 or 8.1 will find out whether they like Windows 10 the hard way.

Now before all the Windows 10 fans jump down my throat...
This isn't about whether Windows 10 is a good operating system. I'm running Windows 10 at work. It's a fine operating system.
It's about whether Microsoft should be automatically converting users' systems -- which had been left alone on purpose -- without the users' permission or knowledge.

Whether I want it or not eh? We’ll see about that, won’t we?

There's also the issue of data / bandwidth usage for the multi-GB download you didn't ask for or expect.
Surprise!! You just topped your monthly data cap and are hit with a bill for the overage.

If you are a neophyte or old school, you’ll have a real thrill getting up to speed on 10.
