powpowpaoon Microsoft won't back down from Windows 10 nagware 'trick'

Yes, don't need to connect to update, but if you want to transfer music, movies, photos in bulk to the iPad that isn't on iCloud or whatever, then no joy.

Equally as bad is OSX. Decided to downgrade from El Capitan to Mountain Lion because I've a 2012 machine and my GPU blew under El Capitan. Now i can't access my iPad 2 Air because it's forcing me to upgrade iTunes and the only way to do that is to update back to El Capitan.

I have to commit the dirtiest, skankiest, filthiest trick by using Windows to access my iPad now.
