PROCON: Thanks for the ping. I saw the Register's article yesterday and thought about posting a thread for it, but I haven't had a chance to confirm/deny the assertions yet, and I've posted a lot of threads about Win10 update woes. But given that you posted the thread, I figure I may as well ping the list.

McGruff: About your screensnap of the weather report at comment #56 -- is that real, not photoshop? That'll become legendary if true!

If this allegation about the Win10 upgrade is true, it's pretty damn serious. Microsoft's not the first company to go this far in coercing users to upgrade, but the scale of their user base makes this a different ball of wax.

OTOH, I haven't seen this effect in person yet, so I'm still looking for independent confirmation...
