The whole idea of forced updating just rubs me very much the wrong way anyway. I use my phone for internet, and I have a 15GB data limit - if Windows is going to FORCE updates on me, USING that connection, then they best PAY me when I use up data that I wouldn't otherwise have used, go over my data limit and get charged for it because I can't turn that functionality off.
NO. That is top-tier bullshat.
Actually, it kind of reminds me of when the XBox One (also Micro$oft, go figure) was announced and they said that it would REQUIRE an internet connection to be usable at all. Notice.... They removed that little caveat pretty quickly afterward, and my bet is, they're going to remove the requirement to auto-update, too. Enough users will backlash.
