[DeTomaso] NPC: Microsoft is sneaking the Windows 10 update onto PCs

[fastgrandma]

At my last place of employment they finally got computerized and unfortunately did not take another employee and my advice on using Macs but went with PC's which I quickly dubbed Pieces of Crap!  Was annoying when I had to shut (this may have changed now) each and everything down before it would completely shut down. Oh well, they were paying me for my time.

Welcome to WWM.  Wonderful World of Microsoft.   I don't like Apple
   either, but Mac's run Linux
   (OS-X) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Unix.  Best development system ever.  And
   always has been since the
   release of the Mach3 Kernel. Very stable and easy to maintain.   IMHO
   Make the switch. You will never go back. We are almost 99% Mac's within
   JPL.
   PS -  I run Windoze7 in a Vmware virtual machine (VM) within my Mac.
   NEVER had a problem over the
   last ~5 years.  Best $50 I ever spent.  (I have 2 Apps that only run on
   Windoze)

   Why do I feel like making a shortt joke here?
   Yes, I got the popup on one of my home machines and I usually just
   dismiss it until I have time to remove the KB update -again- (why does
   Microsoft keep overiding my wishes)...
   Except -this- time instead of dismissing it, it automatically scheduled
   the upgrade.  I was like...WTF?  I had to manually unschedule it.  Now
   I'm fearful its automatically doing it to that home computer while I'm
   at work.  Not cool.

   offer proper serial communications anymore since Microsoft figures that

   nobody uses serial communications, so why offer it. We are stuck with

   Widows 7 apparently. I got my son a lap top for his racing data logger

   everything. I had to buy a second laptop with the old Windows program
   for

   him to use and trash the first one. Maybe Microsoft needs to give us a

   choice before giving us all this new technology for free. This is going
   to

   screw up manufactures all over the country today.

      If you don't want this to happen, you have to change the setting in

      Widows Update to allow you to chose to install updates.
