Remember the box with the license agreement where you just clicked 'I Agree' on? I'll bet the culprit is in there.

Precisely.

"Agreements" do not permit illegal behaviour -- e.g. you could add "You agree to murder my boss/ex-wife/mother-in-law if I ask you to", but that doesn't make murder legal. Not only that, but it could be argued that adding illegal behaviour to a contract makes the entire contract invalid/unenforceable.

Thank you captain obvious.
Where does it say it is illegal for Microsoft to auto-update their own software?

Please don't tell me that you think it's right that one should have to defend oneself against an operating system.

Got hit by Windows "The 5 Eyes Edition" did you?
Legal or not, it's a disgusting "practice" on every level.
And with the injecting of "special code" for EXEs built with the latest VS versions, it's nothing short of a travesty.
It's very obvious, Windows machines are no longer recommended to be hooked up to the net - and with Intel's hidden processor, there's money to be made on Faraday cages....
Windows will die a cruel death for these sh1t stunts....

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

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.

No it isn't, but the nice ones provide options to disable them.

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.

Apparently sales end Halloween this year for Win 7.
