If they can read? None.
For everyone's reference, this is what VanDeKoik says you 'just need to read' to know that Windows is not going to be force installed:
Really? So, what were you supposed to “read” to know it was not needed to choose the only two options on that screen? How would anyone know that hitting that tiny “x” to close the window wouldn't immediately start one of those two options as the default and install?
” but having your copy of Windows seemingly force”
Again, it isn't, but playing victim of “M$” is seemingly a badge of pride by some on this site.
I have been working with Microsoft products since 1982 and Windows since 1990. I have no reason to make up an issue with Microsoft. I can tell you such a screen has never shown before from a Windows patch. Such behavior changes from a product should be considered unfriendly behavior.
“That prompt choice really put a nail in Microsoft's reputation, in my book. It's worse than malware, because your computer gets completely redone, and may come back not working.
Take a second to read and you wont “install” anything. Win 10 requires you to multiple times hit buttons giving user permission. Again, you want to hide behind laziness to play victim of some nefarious plot.
Again, there is nothing on that screen to say there is any option but to install, and anyone thinking of hitting the out-of-the-way “x” should have feared a default install behavior was a definite possibility.
“After telling my customers and coworkers for years to have updates set to that (for all who can't be assured of staying up on every little patch),”
So you encouraged people to pay no attention to what is going on with their machine? Wonderful.
For those, as I stated, who couldn't keep up on the intricacies, especially older people, of course I would suggest the very default Microsoft strongly recommends for computer safety. As I later mentioned, Microsoft isn't describing update detail any longer, so even if you wanted to know something, Microsoft has officially stated you won't be informed. Take your beef up with Microsoft.
“VanDeKoik, you may think all of this cr@p is an excellent thing, but “
Personal responsibility? Silly me I forgot this is the part of FR where you can go and brag about how little of that you engage in.
When people buy a product from a responsible company, they expect responsible behavior. If you were run into by a wayward vehicle and injured, would it be your lack of personal responsibility that caused that? In “VanDeKoik-land,” it would be, because VanDeKoik was in his car, which allowed himself to be hit. The rest of us don't see it that way.
“Eat that”
How edgy. Can't take time to pay attention to what you are doing, and it's someone else’s fault. Better write Obama so we can get a government program to prevent that.
Yeah, about that “Eat that,” well, that stays.
