Quoted from the http://tidbits.com/article/17633: "If you're running macOS 10.12 Sierra or earlier, and do not want to upgrade to 10.13 High Sierra right now, be careful because Apple has started pushing High Sierra to older Macs and making it all too easy to upgrade inadvertently." [...]

    Are they using the same tactics as Microsoft did with Windows 10? Did they not learn anything?

    What would they learn exactly? That most of the people will roll over and cave and do it anyway?

    There wasn't any real fallout from the Windows 10 rollout.

    Yeah nobody went to jail for "unauthorized modification of a computer system", which I believe is illegal in some countries.

    Imagine if I did what Microsoft did and upgraded strangers PCs to windows 10 against their owners wishes. How many years in jail would I get.

    Or what if I made and spread crapware that would show a dialog box that sometimes installed it if you clicked OK and at other times installed it if you clicked the X to close it. Would that be legal?
