El Reg reports
Microsoft's relentless Windows 10 nagware has interrupted a live TV weather forecast, urging meteorologist Metinka Slater to upgrade.
The operating system suddenly popped up a box on screen insisting the station's computer be upgraded to the latest version--while Slater was on air describing thunderstorms rolling through Iowa, USA.
The cyber-badgering blatted over her doppler weather radar, which was being broadcast on KCCI 8 News [April 27].
"Microsoft recommends upgrading to Windows 10. Gosh, what should I do?" Slater asked sarcastically.
So, do you know of a case of MSFT update pushiness that rivals this?

Whooooooooooooooooosh way to miss the fucking point. Yes, blah blah your strawman about blaming the tech guy at the station is an entirely different issue. The point is IMAGINE HOW ANNOYING THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING ON EVERY SINGLE COMPUTER IN THE WORLD that has a non Windows 10 Microsoft OS. THIS is what we are blaming Microsoft for.
