Still more skeevy Windows 10 dogshit
I ran Windows Update today. Looks like there's yet another new "recommended" update that wants to install shit related to Windows 10 and probably Windows 10 itself, if you let it.
KB3123862 says:
"Updated capabilities to upgrade Windows 8.1 and Windows 7
"About this update
"This update adds capabilities to some computers that lets users easily learn about Windows 10 or start an upgrade to Windows 10."
I don't fucking want to "easily learn about Windows 10 or start an upgrade to Windows 10." As such, of course, I will not be allowing this update to install.
I found this shit on my own, by running Windows Update and checking each individual update, but here is what Google and DuckDuckGo have to say about it. Basically, from what I can tell, it's more or less KB3035583 again, but with a new paint job (i.e. a new KB number, as predicted by owsf2000 here). It may not be exactly the same thing, but it may as well be, apparently. Here's what you get if you search for both together.
Fuck Windows 10, and fuck Microsoft for these scuzzbucket tactics. As I've said in the past, the more they do duplicitous bullshit like this to try to force/trick people into downgrading to Windows 10, the more I will actively oppose ever installing the shit. And the instant they make it no longer viable to continue using Windows 7 is the instant I install Linux and never look back.
