I just saw this article this morning. It says that if you click
on the "Check for Updates" In Windows Settings, you are asking
to be made into a Beta tester!

I think that this sucks.


Agreed.

They've basically just destroyed a pivotal control on the machine.

If you can't trust that button (in the same sense as you trust
a light switch), what can you trust ?


You can always trust that clicking the X will close the current window
without having you agree to anything without your knowledge. Oh, wait,
they once messed that up, too.

In many (or most) organizations, employees who tell their managers what
they want to hear get promotion and pay. Those who tell their managers
something else are considered "not a good fit".

Microsoft's managers wanted to hear that users all wanted the Windows 10
upgrade, and that users would of course only click the X when they did
not want to be bothered with the details. Imagine these managers' shock
and surprise when the bots which crawl social media sites told them a
different view after the deed was done.
