Apparently you need to get out more, because you seem to have missed that "not upgrading" is so incredibly common that some major software packages (web browsers) and at least one operating systems have decided to force upgrades.
Also, do you really believe that all the IT departments in the world are running current versions of anything? There are entire industries that run "last year's" versions, who only upgrade after extensive testing.
> I'd love to know what is
Did you even read the thread you're replying to? You're knee-jerk application of the paranoid-style[1] ignores the fact that "It's in the privacy policy." There is not secret. MS is telling everyone they will send forced updates (which have already cause stability issues for some people). As for MS keeping "the good will of their customers", again, did your read this thread? Windows 10 has already forced various professionals to drop windows.
Also, "compromised" is your term, not mine. I'm sure any future update they push out will be buzzword compliant. The point is we don't know what future updates will bring, but you agree to run those future versions anyway.

Meh. I have better things to do than waste any more time on your distractions. If you want to be the apparatchik that refuses to believe MS would do anything malicious, that's your business.
