They haven’t? Yesterday my computer updated without my permission and started popping up a screen that nags me about how I need to switch to an online Microsoft account in order to continue to use the operating system.

A few weeks ago I tried to disable Windows updates using a test scheduler job and despite being an administrator and going through the command line it told me I do not have the permission to do this.

The restrictions are here and they’re getting worse.

Absolutely, with TPM chips now being a requirement to install Windows, it’s only a matter of time until DRM becomes a mandatory low-level part of the OS.
