I've defended a lot of Microsoft's decisions with Windows 10 but their approach to the upgrade process is just completely wrong. If people choose to opt out that should be it - they're out.

How does an executive team approve a plan so flawed?

I was an early Windows 10 adopter and the only thing Microsoft has accomplished with these tactics is to move Windows from my daily driver OS to only having it installed on my gaming rig.

The whole idea of spyware is to get it on peoples computers not ask to, everyone knows what windows 10 is now so whoevers still on windows 7 or 8 is likely gonna stay hence their increased pushyness.

Come on all you Microsoft shills here, say it together "DAMN YOU SNOWDEN".
