Hmm... This could be:
- Dumb users clicking "Yes, upgrade my computer" or
- A Microsoft conspiracy forcing millions of computers (most being used by businesses) to install a completely new OS on their computers without their consent.
I don't believe in Bigfoot or the Illuminati or Obama being a secret Muslim, so I'm going to go with #1.
Please, please, please don't look at your phone while you're driving. It isn't safe for the rest of us. Look up where you're going before you start driving, or let somebody else navigate. You're endangering the lives of others when you do what you're describing.
I don't particularly care who takes care of the maps, whether it's Microsoft, somebody they hire, or a team of trained squirrels. Maps on Windows Phone certainly aren't going away.
Unless Microsoft comes with a deal with Here Maps, most consumers will shun Windows Phone.
I'd be willing to bet that 95% of Windows Phone users have never heard of "Here Maps" before. I hadn't. Even Here Maps said that they aren't bothering because most users are perfectly happy with the built in mapping system.
From the article: For maps, routes and navigation, we recommend using the preinstalled Windows Maps application. The Windows Maps app contains many HERE elements since Microsoft has developed it using the HERE Platform and with assets they received from HERE in 2014. Based on your comments on HERE 360 and elsewhere, we know many of you are already having a good experience using Windows Maps.
Windows Phone has it's own (robust) built in mapping system. Not sure why somebody would want a third party map service. Been using Windows Phone forever, and never heard of this company before.
It's time to bury Windows in a deep, dark hole, remember it for all the good stuff it brought to computing, try to forget about all the shit it foisted upon unsuspecting users, and move on to a less self-serving and traitorous alternative.
They don't. That's why they're AAA members! You're asking people who self-select as scared or worried drivers if they'd be worried about a new paradigm? Wow. I'm surprised that 25% *didn't* piss themselves at the thought of autonomous vehices.
Trump has been in the national spotlight for decades. Him being a total, unrepentant piece of shit human being isn't an act that he just created for this election period. You're probably right, that he's doing what he can to get votes, but that doesn't make him a horrible, horrible person, who'd do ANYTHING, so long as it benefitted himself.
You're saying that outright racism, sexism, and inciting violence is OK because you bought some computer gizmo made in Mexico? Sorry, but you'll have to bring that conversation over to Infowars or somewhere where there are more of your people hanging out.
My plan is to just set the car to roam around while i'm not using it, so at least one of us is having a good time.
That's what all of the autonomous car companies will do. There are going to be fleets of Uber/Google/Whoever cars constantly in motion, because whoever gets to the client first when a car is requested, will win. So I think the roads will be filled with fleets of circulating autonomous cars, some with passengers, but a lot without.

You may want to work on your reading comprehension.
[...]and can choose to not install the Windows 10 upgrade or remove the upgrade from Windows Update (WU) by changing the WU settings."
You earn your living from using Microsoft software, but you don't trust Microsoft? That doesn't make any sense.
Bullshit.
Wow. You're a special one, aren't you? How does one get like you, exactly?
ivory tower elitist
That phrase, like a jesus fish on the back of a car, is, to me, the marker of an idiot.
I was unaware there was a built in mapping system for Windows Phone.
It's the button that says "Maps".
Not a strong reader, are you?

They are gone. They're all artificial at this point.
Do you have a point to all of your unrelated statements? Stock price? Do you even know what that is?

I don't think that you know what "Orwellian" means...

What's the alternative?
"too many clicks"? That sounds like a personal problem.
The problem they're trying to fix is how to skim money off the top of every transaction a user makes.

If that witch is the nominee, I'll be voting for trump.
Fuck you. You're an asshole.
