Microsoft’s Get Windows 10 nagware shows signs of sentience

Re: Malware, without a doubt

I'm looking at this like that also but with a twist... at some point, they won't update Win7 in any meaningful way (maybe around July???) and then shovel to the malware kiddies any vulns that they know of and that are unpatched. A campaign to "upgrade to Win10 to prevent this malware" would then be the final push..... But I'm a bit nuts and paranoid about all this anyway after the crap MS has pulled. Nothing would surprise.. not even a secret update that gets past the blocks and borks the PC.

Evil is just the beginning and doesn't even begin to describe this.
