You might recall that Microsoft hit a new low by changing how their dialog box which nags you to upgrade to Windows 10 behaves. Specifically, the red cross on the right hand corner of the pop-up box now starts the upgrade instead of closing the box. The net result is that people thinking that they are getting rid of the box will now get Windows 10.
Well, Microsoft has effectively said that this is by design. In this Knowledge Base article, Microsoft says this:
Based on customer feedback, in the most recent version of the Get Windows 10 (GWX) app, we confirm the time of your scheduled upgrade and provide you an additional opportunity for cancelling or rescheduling the upgrade.
I think that reads as “This is being shoved down your throat whether you want it or not.” Not cool Microsoft. Call it a hunch, but I am going to guess that this isn’t going to go over very well with users.
