Windows 10 update now full-on full-screen deep purple

[Jack]

[...]
For a while, the Windows 10 upgrade was categorized as a recommended update, and pushed out in upgrade-as-an-update form:

Many users, it seems, interpreted this dialog as an question (“would you like this for free?”) rather than a statement (“the upgrade will happen tonight”), and therefore assumed that doing nothing would opt them out rather than in.

Following that debacle, Microsoft seemed to agree with Naked Security readers that a full-on upgrade needed a bit more clarity, and changed the dialog to make it more straightforward:

But, as Paul Weller tried to tell us, way back in the era of Windows 95:

The more I see, the more I know.
The more I know, the less I understand.

So, get ready for yet another take on the Windows 10 upgrade {announcement, invitation, warning, incantation}, this time in deep purple:

As annoying and intrusive as it may be, and with everyone freaking out about privacy issues, I believe those who do not take advantage of the free upgrade will regret that decision in the future.

I keep telling people this, and my father is regretting it as we speak. His motherboard blew up 2 days after the free upgrade ended and he was prepared to use it as an excuse to upgrade with his new motherboard. Too late!

Wait....Is he from the future? Great Scott....

Seriously,though....Time is running out and the OS has proven to be quite stable,at least in my experience.I'm the process of updating my mom and my clients' PC as we speak....

It's gonna be a wacky month.

OMG, YOU'RE RIGHT! I thought it was June 29th. I'll have to let him know. Thanks folks.

The OS should become even more stable as time goes on. I would say get it and forget. Windows 7 is phenomenal but more people will bexcome used to 10 eventually and any problems could be fixed with the OS.

I read on Softpedia that there was 1800 fixes coming to the upgrade on the 29th.

I think people don't know how to read:

Image 1: "this PC is scheduled to upgrade the..." then you have "Click here to change schedule ....cancel upgrade" what the hell people can't understand !

Image 2: "decline offer" !!! even clearer !!!

Image 3: "remind me later"

People are happy clickers or don't even care to read , then they blame MS ....

Microsoft have their own different way strategy so expect that possible intrusive.

The logic here is like a clearance sale on a store which will be the final offer before they move somewhere.

Of course many people will annoy on that scenario however if you convince to upgrade then MS wins on their strategy because of simple description provided.

People should look closer to the reality that it is a good one time offer around.
