Thread Name: Tech: WXP to W10 questions?
Subject: RE: Tech: WXP to W10 questions?
Much of the initial furor has died down and I get the impression there are differences in Euro-v-North American-v-Pro-v-Home-&c.

W10 was the first and only OS I've seen that didn't restrict updates to shutdown and reboot. It just took over the computer whenever it felt like. It seemed to be more a function of MS server availability than anything at the user end. Worse than the Adobe 'pop-ups' ever were.

There was also a fiasco about users getting forced up to W10 by those hidden default settings; who then found they couldn't revert to their old OS.

I've had similar complaints about the 'minor' updates crashing stuff as well.
