Resistance is, and always has been, voltage divided by the current.

Kind of like how Visual Studio 2015 will change your Windows Update settings to 'Install Automatically' without asking you?
I got bit by that one recently. Installed VS2015, and a few hours later my PC is whining to be restarted so it can 'Finish installing Windows Updates'... Which it had silently installed in the background...
Fine, I said, restart the buggering thing... Then I realize it's installed GWX and have to spend time cleaning that mess up...
THANKS, MICROSOFT, I LOVE HAVING MY TIME WASTED!
So yeah. I feel your pain. Update rape is terrible.

All kinds of vendors do auto-updates. This is nothing new.

A lot of vendors will make their software stop working until you upgrade to the latest version.
And to top this all off, Windows 10 is great. I know a lot of people have had issues upgrading but it's still worth it. Support for win7 ends this year, I believe.

From an email from our support team today. I misread it.
Apparently sales end Halloween this year for Win 7.

My support for Mickeysoft is also growing a little short by now.

I just don't see why. Lots of people in CP certainly agree with you but all their complaints about Microsoft could also be said about most other vendors. But no one is even close to doing a better job than Microsoft.

But what we would be left with without Microsoft? Linux?

Why not? If that's what it takes to get rid of them and their next grand plans.

Strange, I used to say that as well. Now I prefer it over being taken for a fool time and again.

Just look at the last four versions and look what happened. Three times out of four, with Vista, Win 8 and now Win 10, they tried to push some grand ideas down our throats, wether we wanted them or not. They even went out of their way to kill off their previous grand ideas in order to usher you to the next one. Somewhere else in this thread someone wrote something like treating customers like cattle. That's what I call being taken as a fool, twice for every time they said 'oops' and came with their next horrible thing. By now we obviously have no more choice at all, at least according to Mickeysoft. They hijack your computer against your will and feel free to spend your bandwith in any way they please, possibly even creating an extra bill, but your are right: They are really doing such a great job. It's not like anybody is having severe difficulties after finally falling victim to their intrusion.

Capitalism is a mortal sin, in Christianity.
The only time that Jesus lost his temper was in the "office" of capitalists.
