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?
