DC117 Critique: Never10 and GWX Control Panel Defend Against Windows 10 Upgrade Trickery

Microsoft hit a new low in their obnoxious campaign to upgrade
customers' PCs that were Windows 7 or 8 to Windows 10. The user
interface is almost impossible to say "no" to when the dreaded
Win10 upgrade message appears.

Anecdotes about affected customers Tim knows and a critique of
two freeware utilities that can keep a Windows machine under the
user's control are featured in this short episode. When will
Microsoft learn to respect customer's private property and offer
an honest UI to upgrade to Windows 10? Never, probably. The brand
is suffering as Microsoft demonstrates contempt for their paying
customers and tricks customers into forced upgrades.
