Microsoft Tricks Users Into Upgrading to Windows 10
After requesting assistance in configuring their computers after upgrading to Windows 10, I have had several customers claim that they did not agree to the upgrade to Microsoft's new OS of solid awesomeness. The customers said that they simply woke up one morning to find Windows 10 had been installed over night.
It turns out, Microsoft changed the Get Windows 10 dialogue box so that clicking the "X" to close the box caused the user to effectively agree to the scheduled upgrade to Windows 10, rather than dismiss the scheduled upgrade as had previously been the case. I was pretty surprised to discover this fact as it would put Microsoft in violation of its own user experience guidelines for developers on how to design dialog boxes. I am sure this will only exacerbate the conspiracy theories flying around the internet, but I too am wondering; Why all the effort? I mean, if it was just Windows 8 that was being so excitedly upgraded, then I would understand - Perhaps a big apology from Microsoft. But Windows 7 too? Windows 7 is tried and true! The "version 2.0" of XP, if you will.
Anyway,
I just thought I would publish this to let clients know - you werent imagining things and the upgrade wasn't your fault!
