Apple has let developers know that this change was coming for about a year and a half now. We develop a VoIP application and have been making changes well in advance of Apple fully deprecating the older socket mechanism.
It does have the downside of giving Apple more control but Apple already has full control over whether you can publish to the App Store, how your UI should look (within reason based on guidelines), not duplicating system functionality, etc. However if this improves battery life and creates applications that are designed in a better fashion then it is positive change.
I tried to upgrade yesterday, my machine has Windows 10 Enterprise and Ubuntu 16.04 on two separate disks. The machine rebooted while updating but would get stuck trying to install (once at 19%, the next time at 0%). To recover I had to power off via the power button and when booting into Windows again it would recover to a previous restore point automatically. Ubuntu stayed intact. After checking for the update again Microsoft have removed the option so it no longer appears as an available update, presumably until they either fix it or else as part of a staggered update mechanism.
Their 'Don't be evil' motto seems to be wearing even thiner recently.
This seems like the kind of thing that Microsoft would do but in this case I'm with Microsoft. They have a valid argument in trying to create an experience similar to other platforms.
Time, New Scientist, occasionally Linux Journal (or whichever Linux magazine looks most appealling while in a newsagents) but the one that take up most of my time is Slashdot itself.

I think the real question is - why was he working with a local repository / local changes for three months? You commit often so this does not happen.

Thierry Guetta done this, it was later made into a film called 'Exit Through The Gift Shop': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_Through_the_Gift_Shop about him following Banksy.
Either use VMWare or a tool called Process Explorer / Process Monitor. These will do what you need.
