The short video below shows what happened during the live broadcast.
Personally, I think the meteorologist did an excellent job of dealing with the situation, but tech geeks it’s humorous situation.
The Windows 10 Upgrade Nag Isn’t Always Funny
While the video above makes for a nice live news blooper, it’s not funny to a lot of people still running Windows 7 and always getting this update nag screen. Microsoft has been quite aggressive with its push to get everyone on Windows 10 as soon as possible. However, not everyone can upgrade due to specific software or hardware they can only run on Windows 7. There are workarounds for legacy software, but some users simply don’t want to upgrade and are tired of seeing the annoying message. We’ve looked at different ways of stopping the upgrade notification, but Microsoft keeps sending out updates that make them ineffective. If you want the annoying update message to stop, at the time of this writing, the best utility we recommend is Never 10 from security guru Steve Gibson. What are your thoughts on this video and the aggressive strategy that Microsoft has implemented with the Windows 10 update? Leave a comment below and let us know. It ain’t your OS – not even in practical terms anymore. I support some users who have hardware and applications that run under XP – but not under 7 or 10. Microsoft have not only stopped ongoing support for XP – (A not unreasonable action – well it wouldn’t be unreasonable if the windows-XP OS was not, as at April 2014, still riddled with gaping security gaps and openings for malware.) – But Microsoft seem to have been actively expending staff effort and spending money to remove all the support that was previously in place for Windows-XP. If you want (well need) to reset a PC back to the shipped OEM instance and licence of XP – well Microsoft systems won’t communicate with systems running versions of IE older than version 8 (probably 11 now. or soon!), but – you cannot get 8 to install until you have the XP system fixed – and without IE8 you cannot get Microsoft systems to communicate with Windows Update on your system to get and install the fixes. (OK for those with some technical background – there is the offline update facility use a different PC to get the entire April2014 set of fixes and then run the install process – actually better, easier, and faster than the Microsoft online process) And – expect similar obstructions to be put in place for those using versions of Windows that precede Windows-10. Now – considering the nagging – Well consider If YOU do not take the windows-10 update before the end of July – then you will have to PAY Microsoft for it – And at almost £200 for the retail Pro windows-10 – why not just get a new PC? That will almost certainly come with 2GB or more of memory – OK windows-7 and Windows-10 run most stuff adequately in 1GB – well from my observations – most stuff except the MIcrosoft update facility, which seems to want all of 1GB for itself – If you have 1GB of memory, then; NO you should not expect to be able to have your antivirus/malware software running alongside Microsoft Update if you want the update not to take days to run! And – considering malware – the most frequent access to users PC’s being via the internet – browsing or email – what were major reasons for NOT going to windows 10 – The included email facility, and the browser that came with windows-10. And from my reading (NO I don’t use windows mail, or Edge.) there still seem to be enormous deficiencies in those Windows-10 facilities, apparently Microsoft are not really concerned with the secureness of the windows-10 environment as shipped to retail users.
