Microsoft bow: never forced to upgrade Windows

Microsoft, with its dominance in the desktop market over the past two years, has done little to do with sneaking and annoyance, especially by forcing Windows and applications to be forced to quietly change systems and settings and resent people.

According to reports, Microsoft and Finnish consumer protection agency FCA recently reached an agreement, a clear commitment, in the future will no longer force Finland users to upgrade Windows.

Finland from mid-2016 on a series of Microsoft's infringement of user choice to investigate the behavior until now Microsoft Microsoft bow, and Microsoft also promised not to be installed without the user's knowledge, modify the parameter settings.

In addition, Microsoft must also provide the user with all the necessary information at any time of upgrade, and must not take any action, such as early download, before the user confirms it.

While these rules are currently limited to only one country in Finland, it is believed Microsoft will similarly bow if similar agencies in other regions act too.

After launching Windows 10, Microsoft launched a free upgrade to allow Windows 7 / 8.1 users to directly update the latest system, but also released a program called 'Get Windows 10', intended to support the upgrade, but will automatically download in the background Installation files (waste of traffic), and take the trouble to remind the upgrade, or even directly start upgrading several times, resulting in the destruction of the user's work once.

Microsoft even changed the functionality of the 'X' button in the top right corner of the program, from a standard shutdown to a confirmation, causing many users to recruit, but wanted to give up and started Windows 10 directly.

Finnish side believes that Get Windows 10 program is a pure marketing tool, without the user's permission to download and upgrade Windows 10, can bear what is intolerable.

Microsoft has not yet stated its position, but according to reports, Microsoft has promised to be more user-friendly in the future.
