Microsoft accused of Windows 10 upgrade ‘nasty trick’, which is changing the behavior of the red X box in the upper right-hand corner to mean ‘sure, go ahead and screw up my life by upgrading to Windows 10’, rather than closing the the program. I had to use Task Manager to get rid of the PITA.
Microsoft already turned one of my computers into a brick, they aren’t going near my laptop.
In foreign affairs [if you don’t live in Australia] the current government knows what kind of Internet people want:
Australians do not need the super-fast internet speeds promised when Labor wanted to roll out the National Broadband Network, Liberal frontbencher Christopher Pyne says.
Labor headed into the 2013 election promising its NBN would deliver download speeds of 1Gbps through a network mainly consisting of fibre to the home.
The Coalition’s version aims to have significantly slower download speeds of 25Mbps, but was pitched as having a smaller price tag and earlier completion date.
So just ignore the reports of cost overruns and delayed completion dates…
Even if you’re paying for an Internet connection, you have no guarantee of actually having one.

Regarding M$… M$ have done a lot of bad things since W10 was released. And it’s getting worse.
Why Windows 10 Sucks or Everything Wrong with Windows 10
Yep (internet)! And there will be NO benefit at all over existing ADSL! At a cost of hundred’s of $millions! If you live more than 1km from the exchange (as most people do), you will have the same signal degradation that ADSL has. That 25 Mbps is ONLY if you live within about 500 meters of the exchange (not as the crow flies either, that’s copper wire length)! It degrades rapidly after that. By 4 km, you’ll be lucky to get 6 Mbps.
As for the increased outages, of course! Telstra is now based upon the US corporate model. Maximum profits, minimum infrastructure spending.
These directly relates to the specific M$ dirty underhanded trick for W7 & W8 users:

Micro$oft is Back with Sneaky Windows 10 Tricks on Windows 7 and 8.1
Huh! I guess that’s why my laptop upgraded. Geez . That sucks!
It looks like I have halted the annoying behavior for a bit, but they will probably try something else.
