• Gregg Keizer gets it exactly right: MS hasn’t backtracked on GWX updates

    Posted on May 31, 2016 at 11:51 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    When I have time (in short supply at this point), I’ll elaborate a bit with some new observations, but the bottom line is that Gregg Keizer’s article in Computerworld, No, Microsoft hasn’t backtracked from zealous Windows 10 upgrade tactics, is quite correct.

    There’s been no change in the published mechanics of the coerced Win10 upgrade since March. I still have yet to see one instance where a Win7 or 8.1 user can absolutely prove Win10 was installed without acquiescing to the Win10 EULA (which is highly obfuscatory, IMHO, but that’s another story).

    People are seeing many different forms of the “Get Windows 10” dialog. We aren’t all being tarred with the same brush.
