Comment on Microsoft Is Downloading 6GB of Windows 10 Updates Without User’s Consentparent

Comments

Every update is a different model. Whether they call it 8.1 with KB 1498028 or Windows 10 is simply marketing.

That is true in a sense. But I think this is very from from how the average user sees things, and the way the average user sees things is crucial here since we are talking about user consent. In the mind of the average user, there is a very large difference between KB 1498028 and Windows 10.

This also glosses over the rather enormous difference in sheer size between this "update" and others, which is, as far as I understand it, the focus of people's concern here.
