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?

that's not really a fair example. that linux box is probably some embedded appliance running a severely outdated kernel/os. Most of these systems never get updated once flashed and were built on ancient kernels, etc. to begin with. That probably goes for win/mac kiosks/appliances too. The O/P was probably not an embedded appliance.
