WTF Wednesday - Microsoft
From an article from the BBC Technology section entitled Is the web full of nasty tricks?
Microsoft provoked outrage recently when it was revealed that closing a pop-up box reminding Windows users to upgrade to Windows 10 was treated as consent to the upgrade, if a common setting was in place.
After a media storm, the tech giant backtracked.
I should nope so. Dismissing an annoying pop-up is NOT the same thing as consenting to an upgrade for your entire operating system. Jeez Louise!
