Windows 10 hasn’t been freely chosen. Windows 10 loads itself while you are asleep. Basically its date rape of your computer.

A guy who rapes passed out drunk women shouldn’t brag about his success with the women. Microsoft shouldn’t brag about their adoption rate.

Well, they're way behind where they wanted to be according to their ridiculous goal of a billion devices by whatever date they picked... so while they're no doubt happy about hitting 400M, I wouldn't call it bragging. More like relief.

And I am pretty sure it's not supposed to auto-install itself any more now that it's not free.

OTOH, I have read stories about it allegedly downloading and offering to install itself, but you have to pay up for it to proceed. Still pretty underhanded, but not without precedent.

Luckily, I’ve been able to fend off the insidious W-10 install so far.
