From the very beginning, this whole "free upgrade" thing has been suspicious as hell. How desperate are they that have to upgrade you behind your back? Like they think I wouldn't notice or wouldn't mind?
I'm not paranoid about Microsoft downloading a bunch of spyware for their Chinese/NSD/Obama masters but maybe I should be.

I turned off all MS updates on my Win7 machine the moment I learned of the nature of Win10 and what they intended.

Spybot Anti-Beacon is a standalone tool which was designed to block and stop the various tracking (telemetry) issues present in Windows 10. It has since been modified to block similar tracking functionality in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.
Anti-Beacon is small, simple to use, and is provided free of charge. It was created to address the privacy concerns of users of Windows 10 who do not wish to have information about their PC usage sent to Microsoft. Simply clicking Immunize on the main screen of Anti-Beacon will immediately disable any known tracking features included by Microsoft in the operating system.

It’s not an upgrade. It’s a new operating system. There is no guarantee that the programs you are using will continue to work. MS needs to be sued.

My PC fully installed Windows 10 overnight last night without my knowledge or consent.
I clicked ‘Decline’ on the Terms & Conditions page, and the PC uninstalled Windows 10 and restored Windows 7 Professional to its original state that I require for my business.
I am angered at this overreach by Microsoft.

“I turned off all MS updates on my Win7 machine the moment I learned of the nature of Win10 and what they intended.”
Really? What is it about the nature of Win10 makes Microsoft intentions, um; is it evil?

It is likely that Windows 10 is more NSA friendly. .

The exact same thing happened to me last night.
Went to go get a beer, and the next thing you know the laptop betrayed me.

Windows 10 can create secret partitions on your HDD so you might want to go see if you have any new partitions you didn’t create. No idea what could be hiding in there.

This is just typical tone deaf Microsoft customer relations. A mentally retarded child could take over that department and he’d manage to piss off fewer people than the staff of “executives” that is making these kinds of decisions right now.

It is spying on everything you do and sending all that information to Microsoft, for purposes only they know.
To: OrangeHoof
Microsoft is turning to a ‘rented’ OS plan: you get what they rent, including the maintenance.
Reminds me of the old Capitol Record Club deal though... you get what they offer, not always what you want.

I have a Surface Pro 2, and I like the Metro browser. This runs with Windows 8. Simple things make the Metro browser nice, like taping on a text box, brings up the on screen keyboard, and it automatically goes away. The new edge browser on the Surface Pro 4, I got my wife won’t do this. I really don’t want the upgrade to Windows 10, because it is going backwards. It seems like every day my SP2 trying to install 10.

Just happened to a friend of mine last night.
Personally I love Windows 10 but my laptop at home is a monster system and can handle it well.
