Microsoft has really hit a new low when it comes to their efforts to force get you to update to Windows 10. What the software giant is up to this time is that it not only prompts you to update to Windows 10, but it arbitrarily sets a date and time for the process to start.
WTF?
Here’s proof of this:
Now, you can reschedule this or cancel this. But users may simply click OK and begin the upgrade process as they feel that they have no other choice due to the fact that it isn’t crystal clear how to cancel it. By that I mean that the OK button is huge, and the option to cancel the upgrade isn’t nearly as big. I’m sure that’s not done by accident.
The bottom line is that this is yet another example of Microsoft doing what it thinks is right for users rather than users making that decision on their own. Not only that, If Microsoft wanted to frustrate their users and send them running to the Apple Store to buy a Mac, this would be one way to do it.
