No Microsoft sucks. It's my computer, stop hijacking it. This is why I switch to a Mac.

Microsoft is 100% responsible for this malware, they trained users to turn off updates by making them unbearable.

That is your personal opinion. I stuck with windows 10 because I like it. That is my personal opinion. Learn a little empathy.

I have a MacBook pro, a surface pro (windows 10), a gaming pc (windows 10), a Plex HTPC (windows 10) and an iPhone.. I'm quite happy regardless and I find all ecosystems have their +/-

it's not my opinion, clearly they've driven customers to behave in an insecure. Clearly their customers hate the ads and the updating mechanism. That you happily tolerate it just makes you a tiny minority.

It is your opinion, you're even using your opinion to make up stuff about me that isn't true.

I clicked the option to disable this when prompted when I upgraded. It was easy and I've moved on. Life is great, i'm back to playing games, watching content and enjoying my device without it asking me if I want to upgrade office.

(but my damn iPhone keeps telling me to upgrade icloud)
