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.
“I believe even you were raped by Microsoft in this way,”
Good grief... Creepy as heck right there, dude.
I’m sorry but at this point you are firmly committed to seeing people as victims, idiots, or flat-out clueless in order to perpetuate some myth...or God only knows some bizarre hope, that everyone that use Windows 10 was somehow tricked or “bullied” and are desperate to stop using it, but the evil “M$” has their PC under their diabolical control...or whatever.
I get it, you dont like the OS, or are royally pissed off that so many people use it despite the caterwauling from folks that must have assumed that everyone SHOULD or would hate it.
Sorry it didn’t happen. Especially to the tune of 200 million people.
“VanDeKoik, you are a Microsoft apologist who can’t even understand you’re the epitome of the Microsoft victim.”
Sorry. I’m a conservative. I dont believe in being a victim. I installed an OS that I wanted to use, and have had no problems in my day-to-day use. My work PC, where we get the same popup, is closed because, unlike some people here, I apparently have the good sense to dismiss a popup that clearly explains its purpose but offers something I dont wish to do on that particular machine.

Hey VanDekoik...
This.
This right here. What he said.
Did you need to go further with this, or are you done with supposedly not “car[ing] if someone thinks [Windows 10] is the greatest or not”? [source: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3381714/posts?page=92#92]
