Deceptive? You decide: Windows 10 is mentioned exactly twice on this EULA dialog, way down at the bottom in tiny print. This EULA doesn't say "Click Accept and you'll be upgraded to Windows 10," although in fact that's what happens: You click Accept on the EULA and, without doing anything else, you're upgraded to Windows 10.

If you know somebody who was shoved, here's what you can tell them. Some people don't like change simply because it's change. Judging by the volume of complaints I've been hearing, Microsoft made a mighty push over the weekend to get every Windows 7 user (and the few who are still running Windows 8.1) to move on to Windows 10.
