Re: Deja Vu
As pointed out, Win 8 was not force downloaded on the user and had a whole lot less spyware and lock-in.
Unfortunately, Win 10 will be adopted. Corporate versions do not suffer the spyware issues so corporate buy-in is a done deal. The average user has no idea how to stop the auto upgrade and will be forced to use it no matter what, unless they are tech savvy. Most are not. And like all good zombie-sheep-sumers, they will complain but adapt anyway.
As it is, Win 8 and now 10 are already directly affecting PC sales. The average user is tired of the constant INCOMPATIBLE upgrades and very-non-intuitive GUI and is just saying "fuck it" unless they have a serious need to upgrade. For the average user, the hassle is just too great and their phone does pretty much all they need so now those chickens are coming home to roost.
