More Win10 coerced update reports

[JMH]

I’m not sure if The Reg got all of the details right, but if their report is true, Win7 customers are getting marched to Win10 with no reprieve.

Mary Jo Foley has a scathing riposte.

I read this piece of drivel from Jason Perlow – also on ZDNet – and just about croaked.

Remember, if you’re ever stuck with scheduling a upgrade and no alternatives appear, quit what you’re doing and install GWX Control Panel. It’ll get rid of all of it.

And if you know somebody who got sucker-punched, refer them to my article Hit by an unexpected Windows 10 upgrade? Here’s how to recover.

More Win10 coerced update reports @ AskWoody

I think it is important to note that Mary Jo updated her comments to point out that Woody and The Register submitted another false alarm.

I am NOT defending MS because I agree this mess is "convoluted and difficult" and even "near impossible" to avoid and MS's marketing and PR teams have done a horrible job here. And that is tragic because in reality, W10 is really a great OS, the best Windows yet! But because of the way it is being shoved down consumer's throats, it is really getting a bad and even unfair rap.
