once I see a few million confirmations that this is genuine and not another Microsoft forced-upgrade trick, I might actually turn on MS Update on my Win7 machine again

Don’t do the update. Instead, save it to a portable drive and do a clean install. I did a fresh install of 10 and it works wonders.

If the title is accurate, I wonder if this is one reason

A lawsuit over an unwanted Windows 10 upgrade just cost Microsoft $10,000

Possibly afraid the flood gates may open?

Too late. MS needs to be brought into court over this.

Windows 10 Update becoming easier... to say NO ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

And in case any of you wonder about the fiery graphic... the Windows 10 upgrade/update threads now hold the record for most "flames" ... :-)
