today's outrage...  It's Tuesday, so I checked for upgrades on my Win 7 machine.  Without looking at the detailed list of "important" updates, I hit "install updates"...and Win 10 began to install.  I cancelled it after much difficulty.  Getting really tired of this.  I just wish there was a viable alternative to Win...I'd drop these guys fast.

Yeah, I also noticed the tick box on the update, which I'd unticked and had been ticked again... ???

OK, so I may be the last person in the world to know that Windows' Personal Assistant, Cortana, is named after the AI in the HALO game series. Having just read a synopsis of that game series I am left to wonder:

How long till Life imitates Fiction and the MS' Cortana also goes all Skynet for real?

^^ Yep. I use both Win and MacOS, and that's accurate.

Almost accidentally installed Win 10 on either my Surface or the Presence again this weekend; just forgot to check whether the optional thing (namely Win 10) had been checked, since some update back there reactivated its flag. Fortunately they've made it easier to cancel out of installing it.

I suppose I'll have to get it on a new computer someday, and/or when they stop supporting Win 8.1 (which who knows could be any time). But only if Falcon says it's worth it.

Actually, the last few OS X upgrades have been free.

mirth, how do know that Microsoft hasn't already upgraded your system to Windows 10? They probably just left the Windows 7 skin in place as camouflage.

I had to Bitch-Slap my PC last night to stop it upgrading to Win 10. All by itself and when my favorite show was on like it knew I wasn't watching.  :o  I'm afraid to leave it turned on by itself anymore.

Also had my Win 7 start a spontaneous long (and not to be interrupted) process of converting to Win10 without any input from me (not to mention asking for my permission)...

Fortunately, for some reason it failed and I got "stuck" with Win 7 (poor me  ;) ).
