Forced updates
Hi All,
I just read that M$ will not be giving you a choice as to installing updates. http://windowssecrets.com/newsletter...10-build-9926/ Microsoft hasn't explicitly said one way other the other, but based on hints and comments, it seems likely that many Windows 10 users (anyone who doesn't fall under a corporate volume license) will have to stay tethered to the Microsoft mother ship most of the time. Likely, Microsoft believes that keeping Win10 users continuously updated to the same version of Windows will reduce support issues and costs. What does that mean? On the plus side, that means you'll get all of the new updates as soon as they're available. On the minus side, you'll also get all of the new updates as soon as they're available. I don't even do that with Linux, where they actually TEST their updates! OH NO! -T
