  Microsoft caves on Windows 10 mandatory updates, but adds spying apps to Windows 7/8
Time: 18:40 EST/23:40 GMT | News Source: Network World | Posted By: Erick Cordero

This company really can't make up its mind if it wants to respect privacy or not.

It's a week where Microsoft giveth and Microsoft taketh away. On the plus side, it has caved on the mandatory app updates for home users and will allow them to opt out. On the down side, it has back-rolled some of the privacy-intrusive parts of Windows 10 to its older operating systems.

The mandatory updates were for both the OS and hardware drivers as well as Windows Store app updates. This only applied to home users, business users were exempt. It wasn't really an unheard-of move. Gamers live with that constantly, especially online gamers. You're getting the update whether you want it or not.
