Sure Happy It’s Teh Penultimate Day Of The Work Week, GN!

Mac --

Unreal that MS would schedule you for an OS upgrade in such a dastardly and sneaky manner.

Sure Happy It’s Thursday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa, and Sven!

Mac -- Teh Older got a message on his computer offering to download Win 10 now or in 3 days. If you pick 3 days, it will download in 3 days -- no more choices. If you dismiss the dialog, you can put off the installation to a time of your choosing -- or not.

Wow! I hope someone successfully hits Microsoft with a class-action lawsuit over this.

Hai, Sven, Paddy and Mac!

Woody Leonhard at InfoWorld had this (among other things) to say:

I think Windows 10 is great — if you understand and accept its wayward ways. But this forced updating is, in my opinion, the most customer-antagonistic act Microsoft has ever undertaken.

Even worse than Clippy, I guess. 😉

More seriously…that’s a profoundly shitty way to treat customers.
