The fact that mickeysoft is giving this away free AND forcing users to take it is disturbing.
Follow the money- how are they benefiting from this?
Windows 10, the Trojan Horse operating System. Just say no.
I’ve never encountered the “Get Windows 10” nag except in a browser window. But then I’m running enterprise versions of Windows (7, 8.1, and 10).
I did have one VM spontaneously upgrade to 10 (Win-7 Enterprise to the freebie Win-10). It won’t activate, probably because it doesn’t fit the qualifications. Interestingly, outside of the fact that it won’t let me personalize the desktop I find it advantageous to have an unlicensed version since it also won’t let the automatic updates proceed ;’}
save for later
Another fun affect is the my Windows 7 will no longer accept updates. It’ll see them, it just won’t take them. Microsoft isn’t just satisfied with just nagging you to “upgrade” to Win 10, now they’re resorting to sabotaging previous versions of Windows.
Who running MS these days...the GOPe leadership?....
Rule number one:.. Do not piss on or disrespect your base
This is not the Apple base that parrots that days Marketing b******* in their daily prayers
Everything I read about Windows 10 reminds me of that old canard about rape. If it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.
The ad slogan for Windows 10 ought to be. “Relax and Enjoy It.”
My XP is just humming right along.
To remove annoying notification and icon forcing to upgrade to Win10, use free tool ‘GWX Control Panel’

There are also bunch of videos on Youtube showing how to disable spying on users from Win 10.
Big Brother is watching US, Microsoft Win 10 is the tool.
Looks like many computer magazines and web sites are getting paid for pushing “innocent telemetry collection” and snooping inside of our computers. I am happy with Win 7 and Win8.1 on tablets.
My next computer will have 10. I will not “upgrade” my current computers. I will not install an operating system which may or may not disable my currently working programs.
People have to use Windows for business or for certain programs or games.
But for general web surfing and home office use, I use Linux. It’s so much faster and better. When I boot Windows 10 up now I’m amazed how slow and buggy it is.
“Oh, this will get interesting... “
I’m just waiting for the class action lawsuit ...
These pop ups are really screwing up things for a blind friend of mine.
NAGWARE is the perfect description. Some may use the term
ZOMBIEWARE, you thought for sure you had uninstalled everything connected to an undesired program, only to have it resurface days, weeks later, like that doll Chucky who could not be destroyed.
This will not affect large corporations. This is intended for small businesses using Windows Update over the Internet. If you’re using WSUS or SCCM, you don’t get this garbage.
Honestly, if you’re a Windows admin worth your salt, you should, at a minimum, run WSUS. It’s a built-in role on the Server platform, and setup is wizard-driven.
This is, again, much ado about nothing, but I will say that our MS TAM is VERY persistent about our plans for migration to Win10. We’re still on Win7, by and large.
If I understand correctly, once you upgrade, you will be forced to accept their updates. This means that an OS upgrade could break your setup, cause things not work, and you'd have no recourse.
Apple is going the same way. I'm daily nagged to upgrade my iPhone to 9.2. Not only the nearly 400MB upgrade is downloaded without my permission waiting for me to approve the install. This ties up half of my available memory.
Did see the dreaded KB nag "update" sitting in the "critical" update queue, but since I have no intention of downloading any further updates from MS, no problem.
