You realize you are posting in a W8 newsgroup, right?

I think that's a strategy to
force Win7 users to upgrade to Win10.

I think that sounds a bit paranoid.



I disagree. I think it sounds a lot paranoid. g

I guess some people don't have tablets where all kinds of "upgrades"
occur for apps & the OS. Don't know about smartphones but can
imagine that updates happen with them also.

So there is no big deal with windows upgrades/updates. If one is
concerned, just use a "dead" OS like DOS or Nextstep or perhaps
OS/2 that won't get any forced updates.
