“it’s gonna depend on whether I can turn that stream on and off at MY will”

Only business versions of W10 will be able to control updating, and right now it’s not entirely clear how fine that granularity will be.

Consumer versions will have NO CONTROL WHATSOEVER when and what Microsoft pushes onto those systems. Gonna be fun when some update permanently bluescreens 25% of W10 home systems one Sunday afternoon, hey?

Yet ANOTHER very good reason to stick with W7 until Microsoft is finally forced to give up on the consumer/mobile market and refocus themselves on making an industrial operating system for PCs.

Looking like Windows 7 for the foreseeable future of Dayglored's Upstate NY Man Cave.

Those crazy f***ers have lost their minds.

Unless I blacklist Microsoft's IP address on my router.

Don't make me go to the nuclear option Microsoft.
