In my opinion, the following scenario seems implausible, but does anyone think it likely? And is it a business model that anyone thinks Microsoft would be likely to adopt?
Would it be worthwhile for a user to put the following questions to Microsoft, before deciding whether to install Windows 10?
Given that Microsoft has now opted to install Windows 10 through the Windows Update process, in Windows 7, by performing the upgrade even if the user clicks on the 'close' button to refuse the upgrade, can we now assume that Windows 10 is the new Ransomware?
Can we presume from Microsoft's adoption of hard-sell tactics, in giving the upgrade away free and forcing it on users even if they don't want it, that Microsoft has something to lose if users do not upgrade?
Should we expect that, at some point, Microsoft will start to make money out of this "free" upgrade? Will users suddenly face a demand for an annual fee for further updates, including security updates, or even for merely using the operating system?
Are users being locked into this operating system in such a way that they will be forced to pay for access to their own data?
