Windows 10: Microsoft Sets Operating System to Download
Automatically
as 'Recommended' Update
The software update was previously designated "optional." As a
"recommended" update, Windows 10 will begin downloading on Windows
7,
8 and 8.1 computers set to update automatically.

Most of the replies so far really were not what I was thinking when
I
posted this.
I'm really initially was thinking why am I (or anyone) being forced
to
download this? Much of the world still uses metered connections, or
simply don't have this big fat pipe that MS seems to think we all
have.
Doing what I've been doing, reloading machines, getting them
internet
ready. This means that if it's not already in my image(s) it will
be
soon. More bloat, more time to image. This isn't huge in and of
itself. I'm more concerned about the next phase, shutdown one
night,
find 10 installing the next morning. Paranoia? Maybe but we are
nearly
now, they have *forced* the download, it's far for inconceivable that
a
switch will be flipped and poof, there it is.
All the above is without even mentioning all the other ills that 10
bring with it. Someday perhaps people will realize that MS free
isn't
OSS. In my view it's just another loss of freedom, being forced to
the
will of others, and what they *think* we want.
Blah blah blah, I'll stop now.

To unsubscribe send to ncolug-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with
'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
I agree. This whole "You want this" attitude is annoying. My wife's
laptop is exactly how she wants it. It is not up to someone in Redmond
to decide she has to change. That's not how a free society is supposed
to work. If MS wants to offer 10 for free, then good for them. If
some people do not want to use it, then good for them. Being forced to
deal with this shit pisses me off, and that's not good for anyone. In
the end I'm guessing Linux is going to be on her computer before the
end of the year, which is good for me, as I won't have to support MS
crap anymore.
