Microsoft paid $10k [1] to one single count of this deceiving practice and decided to settle not to pursue further.
Me and my young children see Transvaginal Mesh Implants class action lawsuit invitation few times a day for probably a year now on multitude of national TV stations. When will some tech-literate lawyer start gathering evidence to file a class action lawsuit over what MS just did??
Is it really an End User License Agreement when Microsoft worked hard to circumvent your desire not to have Windows 10 in the first place. I would think that the change to the red close this box X would be somewhere in exhibit A to F in any class action.
I support some computers that auto-updated to 10, and everyone with access to them swears they never hit "OK" in the week leading up to that auto-update. Did the EULA just flash up on the screen at 2 AM?
I guess it reboots to Windows 10, but keeps the old installation in "C:\Windows.old". If you then do not agree to the EULA in the Windows 10 setup wizard it rolls back to your old Windows installation.
Definitely a dark pattern, because most users may feel that going back is not possible.
It took me a little while to identify which shared folders were necessary for various programs used by this business. Having figured out how to re-share those folders and confirmed that everything else was still working, however, there wasn't a chance in hell I was going to roll the dice on a "restore" operation. They had work to do that day.
