This sounds a bit breathless, but they do seem to have a point.

I’m confused. Is Microsoft evil for updating you software whether you wanted or not, or are they evil for letting you choose whether or not to install the updates?

Yes, but with a caveat.
I have used Linux for almost ten years at home. Recently there was an upgrade to Adobe and despite being current with all my updates, Adobe won’t upgrade in Firefox.
It’s ok I can access it aok using Chromium, but that is the first real issue I have encountered with Linux.
It seems to be a real issue as well. Got some pointers by a person quite familiar with Linux and he suggested the alternate browser.
That said, Linux is a very powerful operating system and it is free.

I'm still running 7. I'm expecting to be able to adapt to 10 when I need to. I run Win 7 too. The other day I got one of those pop ups to upgrade to 10 for free. Only this time, the option to remind me later was changed to download now, install later. Just a heads up.

Adobe stopped supporting Flash for Linux, therefore, no updates in Firefox.
Chromium uses its own version of Flash that the project maintains — actually Google maintains it for the Chrome browser.

Oh got it, thanks.
I am still using Linux, it is a good operating system.
Just there are minor things like this. Overall very good.

Is it not true that most “things” and controls that run on Windows are on XP?

What they need is an option for “FO”.

Well, for liking less than 8, he probably is. Now comparing 10 to 7 is another matter.

LOL....it’s easy to assume it is the same message as it’s been for the last 100 times it has popped up and easy to just click on by force of habit, I did.
Had to go back to a restore point to get it to stop trying to continue and complete the “interrupted” download.
Cause me a few other problems too, total PITA!
