Windows 10: You'll get UPDATES LIKE IT or NOT - unless you have
Enterprise Edition
'You agree to receive automatic updates without notice'
Microsoft's licensing on the upcoming Windows 10 OS means that most
users will find their systems updating on command from Redmond
without any option to stop this.
The Licensing Agreement for Windows 10, as found in the latest
release candidate build 10240 of Windows 10 Professional, states:
The Software periodically checks for system and app updates, and
downloads and installs them for you.
You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorised
sources, and Microsoft may need to update your system to provide you
with those updates.
By accepting this agreement, you agree to receive these types of
automatic updates without any additional notice.
Microsoft's intention is that users will be always up-to-date, not
only with security patches, but also with feature updates.
This makes it easier for the company to keep pace with changing
technology, and provides developers with a more consistent target
for applications.
The downside is that feature upgrades can potentially break
applications, or drivers for peripherals such as printers and
scanners. Those who value stability above having the latest features
may prefer to install security updates only.
Windows 10 does allow this, but only for businesses running the
Enterprise Edition of Windows. These customers can opt for the Long
Term Service Branch (LTSB), which is updated only every 2-3 years
(just like traditional Windows releases)

That does it. I'm looking for another OS.
You WILL run only Software from the M$ collective!
