Or more usefully, what does Never10 do that is bad for users who would rather stay on W7 for now? If you come up with a reasonable answer to that one, I shall pass it on to both the data scientist and his Mum!0 -
Because she asked her informed son how to stop W10 from disrupting the machine she relies upon for business, and he told her, and she passed on the response and asked me to find the download and try it. And I did (as you do!) !
So why didnt you just tell her that this is no longer an issue because the free upgrade saga has ended and no machines will be automatically updated now ?0 -

It doesnt do anything bad - Its doesnt have a use now that the MS upgrade push has ended.
Pass that to the data scientist and his mum .. and dad, why not0 -

Do you actually know that Never10 is now redundant, and do you believe that the end of the Microsoft Upgrade push as you call it was the end of automatic upgrades of major parts of the W7 operating system to W10 components?
I don't, but you may know better. Tell us what is likely to remain unchanged under the bonnet of W7 and what is likely to get changed like it or not.
Do you know how Never10 stopped the auto upgrade? Do you know if the "how" of Never10 might be enough to stop major OS component upgrade?
Or are you guessing?0 -

It was always redundant, I stopped all the nagging to upgrade to windows 10 without installing any additional software.
Hence Never10 seems to have had 1.9M downloads, it installs no software of its own, and as has been confirmed by the acknowledged regular experts here, there's nothing at all bad about its 83 kilobytes of cleverness0 -
The fact that 1.9M people would rather install something than do it natively themselves is part of the reason why computer malware is so prevalent.

Did anyone notice there were some optional updates along with this months important updates (Uzbekistan not having daylight saving time) that were purported to remove all the "naughty" updates, KB3035583 amongst them or did I just dream it. I hid them.0
