My thought as well. If you have sneak in and force your users to upgrade, your doing something wrong.

And everyone frames this upgrade tactic like it's good for the user. In reality, this is good for MS, and it happens to have some benefits for the user. Lets quit acting like MS is being altruistic here.

It's good for the user the way rape is good for the victim: "Just lay back and let us do what we want. Heck, you might even enjoy it!"
