Windows 10 unleashes the ire of Chinese users

Microsoft-China

Since the release of Windows 10, Microsoft has always wanted the adoption of this latest version of Windows among users to be as fast as possible. At the moment Windows 10 are found on just over 300 million computers, with a market share close to 11%. Windows 7 is still the king of the market, with a share close to 50%, although it has dropped below 50% in the last month.

Windows XP continues with a quota similar to Windows XP although it no longer has official support from Microsoft. To accelerate the adoption of Windows 10, Microsoft has released several updates that automate the upgrade of Windows 7 and 8.1 devices to Windows 10 with virtually nothing from the user.

There have been many users who have complained about this unfortunate obligation on the part of Microsoft and since Windows Noticias We already inform you how we can avoid it, but in China an unprecedented wave of criticism has unleashed, in which some users say they have lost money due to this automatic update.

The unwanted and almost mandatory upgrade to Windows 10 has caused significant financial loss to a public relations firm which claims that after starting the upgrade to Windows 10, he was forced to cancel a meeting and lose a nearly $ 500.000 contract that he was about to sign.

The Internet Society in China states that is getting a lot of criticism for the happy update, which although they claim that they know that it is available for download, should add an option for the user to update to Windows 10 as long as they want, and that it is not automatically updated.

These things are taken very seriously by the Chinese government, and if we do not have the case of Apple, which in recent weeks is facing a lot of problems in the country, when it seemed that the relationship with the government was a bed of roses. Microsoft, in theory, is also getting along with the country's government like a charm, especially after launching an update that allows access to all computers in the country through a back door that the Redmond boys installed at the request of the government.
