Picture the scene. You have been working on your laptop, perhaps with not much battery life left, and have to be somewhere else. You go to shut down the machine, and it comes up with an apparently mandatory "making Windows even better" update.
Leaving aside the vexed question of whether, in Microsoft-Speak, AIDS would be considered an "even better" venereal disease than syphilis, or the other way around, what are you supposed to do?
You don't have an indefinate time to wait while it screws around at 100% STILL telling you not to turn the machine off.
You have to go, but no opt-out option is offered.
I put it on "sleep". I don't really like bagging it while its still running, but I may need it at my next destination.
I'd guess there is an opt-out but its hidden to stop people opting-out indefinately because they don't trust the update?
