Microsoft, you’ve now hit a new low when it comes to your overly aggressive Windows 10 upgrade strategy. According to users on Reddit, users are now being prompted to “Upgrade Now” or “Upgrade Tonight.” Now simply closing the prompt will make it go away. But this prompt is likely to come back, and more importantly is the fact that less savvy users will feel that they have no choice but to upgrade.
#Fail…. No…. Given how low Microsoft has stooped to bump up the number of people who are running Windows 10, this is an #EpicFail.
Keep in mind that Microsoft first claimed that forcing Windows 10 onto users was a mistake, then it became a recommended update, then they started pushing it again onto users. This is the sort of nonsense that is guaranteed to send users running to the Apple store in droves. If that does happen, Microsoft deserves that outcome as their Windows 10 upgrade strategy doesn’t respect the rights of users at all.
