“Post the entirety of the two threads?”
POST A QUOTE WHERE I PROVE WHAT YOU SAID.
You dont have to post everything. If what you assert is true then you should have a easy quote where I say “Windows 10 is the greatest OS ever and anyone that says otherwise is a fool”.
You dont. That is why you keep trying to go on a tangent because I’m more than sure you looked and could not find it.
“What false assertions are those? What bogus premise is that?”
False assertion: That I said that Windows is the greatest/perfect OS ever and am disparaging people that dont think so (that isnt even something that was a subject) on either thread. And as if I care if someone thinks it’s the greatest or not.
bogus premise: That Windows 10 is being “forced” on people, which is the premise of this thread, when it clearly isnt being forced installed on anyone’s machine and those that keep claiming (like the writer of this article) have to end up admitting that this really isnt the case.
“That Microsoft has made it unnecessarily difficult to avoid upgrading to Windows 10?”
Which again it isnt as all one has to do is click a simple X on the popup that comes out of the system tray.
“Nope. You’re calling people ignorant, stupid, and sexually deviant”
Ignorant: Lacking education
Stupid: logically knowing that something isnt true but then insisting on asserting disproved premise.
Sexually deviant: Good lord it’s a term used to convey a group of people that echo a premise with no desire to even remotely see that it is factually incorrect.
Echo-chamber, hivemind, group-think, circle-jerk. Pick one, it all means the same.
“Thus, you are the upset one.”
Actually my point still stands, and quite happily as it isnt hard to argue against a point where the other side has to assert increasing levels of ignorance of how this upgrade thing even works in order to bolster their point.
VanDeKoik, you have side-stepped this, but there was nothing to read on that page for anyone, including yourself, to know installation was not to ensue with either choice or by hitting the “x”. You see, Microsoft did not provide any information on a way to get out of the front-and-center choices. Does hitting the “x” make the immediate install happen or not? Step right up and take your chances.
This is now Microsoft’s method: make people just submit to the rape of their computer. The owner can’t trust they have knowledge or control of their own equipment.
Virtually all tech sites agree with this statement from me. Even those who are Windows 10 proponents overwhelmingly disapprove of MS’s bully methods. However, this is likely true because every one of them, including your own sorry butt, found out retroactively that Microsoft had snuck in a bunch of surreptitious keystroke and mouse monitoring to market your behavior. Plenty of tech sites have now taken pains to describe the various ports and functions to turn off to minimize, not fully eliminate, the MS monitoring (Hmm, what do you do with that last HTTPS port connection back to Microsoft for which that you can’t know its true use?).
I believe even you were raped by Microsoft in this way, as I believe you earlier described Windows 10 tweaking to address this. So, even the smart @ss was raped without his permission and knowledge? Did you enjoy that, because this is what those trying to stay off of Windows 10 continue to experience, leaving any automated updates turned off, instead. (But, didn’t you say only idiots let patches come down that they don’t first screen? How did you get raped by Microsoft if you were following your own anti-rape advice?)
VanDeKoik, you are a Microsoft apologist who can’t even understand you’re the epitome of the Microsoft victim.
