Not just great, but superduper!

Now when Microsoft releases a new version of Windows, it will be the only version available because “your” computer will automatically switch to the latest version in the cloud.

You can’t hold off until the second service pack to update.

No more of this silly letting other unwitting customers do the beta testing.

What’s not to love?

Your most honorable Nullness, no comment. My post is devoid of any reasonable attempt to write anything meaningful. May the void be devoid....

You can control Automatic Updates and/or disable them but you probably never bothered to read the screen on the Windows Settings because it’s too complicated for you. Did you know that you never have to pay for an upgrade if you have to a Windows 7 licence, now unsupported for three years because it was released in 2010 and obsolete within 5 years but still supported & updated until 2020? The only reason my desktop is still running Windows 10 is because at < $100 it was obsolete when I bought it but used my Windows 8 licence. Windows 11 doesn’t support my hardware. MS policy since XP has been to support each new release for ten years for ten years from release date. That means by the time Windows 12 is my only MS-supported option, I can use the same deskto I acquire next, either built myself or bought as a prebuilt “Barebones” (no OS at all) either locally in Toronto or online.
