I don't remember 11 being installed on my pc automatically. I've waited for over a year before i had to click multiple times to get the upgrade to 11.
I don't remember 10 being installed automatically over my 7.
Microsoft was taken to court over forcing the 7->10 upgrade
Read the first few paragraphs of your source. Nothing was forced.
Thanks for agreeing with me.
You stopped too early
The quotes are there because there was always technically a way available to avoid the upgrade, but there are two distinct instances listed of users being upgraded without consent.
Sorry, i was very biased because the few times i noticed that it did happen "automatically" was when people around me didn't bother to read.
I always waited years and even though i was often asked i always had the choice to not upgrade without workarounds.
The few where it happened automatically were mostly not automatic but people just clicking ok.
I am biased though. I will now retreat into my cave and keep using the OS that i like most.
