Windows 10 Updates Are Now Ruining Pro-Gaming Streams (theguardian.com)

An anonymous reader cites a report on The Guardian: Perhaps there's nothing more annoying than going in for the kill to suddenly be "pooped on" by a Windows 10 automatic installation taking out your computer mid-stream to your 130,000 or so followers. After deciding to advertise during the weather by attempting to automatically install midway through a forecast, Windows 10 is starting to wreak havoc with gamers. Ex-professional Counter Strike player turned full-time streamer Erik Flom was rudely interrupted mid-game and live on Twitch by Windows 10 automatically installing on his PC. "What. What!? How did this happen! Fuck you Windows 10!" Flom said. "Oh my God! You had one job PC. We turned off everything. Update faster you fuck!"

So basically, if you are still running Windows, for WHATever reason, *your* computer (and its data) now belongs to Microsoft.. I feel a great deal of sympathy for those folks who are still on the MS "treadmill"..... As for myself, I jumped off that about 5 years ago, and couldn't be happier...
