So lets read the fine print!

So MS gives you the undo for what they said couldnt be undone, but they have released a new version that they will resend to all who have the old version whether or not they remove it, and the new version will not be so easy to remove and they do not advise or recommend removing it and they wont help if you get in trouble removing it, and in the future this new version may not be optional. Well ask me why I am not to excited about this news? Be very careful, instead of the yellow download shield
appearing in your task bar these updates are showing up when you turn off your computer. If you click Turn off and your Turn off button has the microsoft shield on it they have sent you an update and will install it with out being able to view it or cancel it. You have to click on the small print below the Turn Off button. Eventually if you shut down this way often enough, they may cancel the update. Good luck. I have begun my Linux education today. I plan to get an old computer, install it and get to know it a little better. Who knows maybe we can get something going!
