I don't think update policy is hostile, it is an over-correction of the problem they had before, where average laptop had 3 trojans fighting for control. For the unwashed masses, its certainly an improvement
I DO mind updates which install increasing amount of Microsoft spyware and adware. Windows 10 wants to track my every motion, direct me to content, up-sell me crappy games and apps, or try to pressure me to do things in the Microsoft cloud.
I'd like it to be my computer. If I wanted my computer to be a lease from a corporation, I'd get a Chromebook.
