This is my reaction. I don't want cloud connections and MS/NSA surveillance and key loggers in my OS, so I won't be going to Win10. Hopefully there is enough backlash that MS is forced to allow user to opt out of this garbage on Win7, at least.

You don't have to update if you don't want to. That is how they get you.

One of those terms was that they can change the terms at any time without notice.

:) .Is that even legal ?

Consent is cemented 72 hours after a contract has been agreed-upon, unless fraud is involved. In this case, agreement to future contract amendments/changes is consent.

Your fault for clicking "Agree". Didn't anyone watch the Human Cent-iPad episode of South Park?

IANAL , but:

Unless you've bilaterally agreed or acquiesced to it, of course. Consent(.exe) is everything.

You have 72 hours (10 business days by mail) to undo your consent to the Windows license changes after clicking "Agree". Did you submit your notice in a timely fashion, or did you let the clock run out?
