In other news (Unless its been posted already)... Windows 10 forced upgrade actually helped someone instead of being total nonsense!

http://wccftech.com/windows-10-forced-upgrade-helps-a-user-avoid-hacking-attack/

"But the Windows 10 forced upgrade has worked in favor of at least one user, who was saved from the recent TeamViewer hack. This Reddit user has reported that he was impacted by the recent TeamViewer hack, when the hijacker who broke into his computer couldn’t do any harm because GWX decided to upgrade to Windows 10. The hacker was kicked out by the Windows 10 upgrade process, because he was disconnected from the PC as the network connection was no longer available."

"Now, hacker would have resumed his work once reconnected but guess what? Windows 10 upgrade process removed TeamViewer because of the compatibility issues, thereby removing any chances of the hacker getting connected to that target machine again."

Just so much lolz

Well, the lesser of two evils won. Yay for him, I guess.
