Re: Windows 10 Being Forced on Users

Brad, thanks for posting this warning. Among the other headlines listed on this two-webpage article is one contending that Win10 is designed to block Firefox and Chrome. As I understand it, Win10 does not automatically support IE, which MS is phasing out. meanwhile, JAWS does not yet support the new browser, Edge. Maybe not quite Catch-22, but close.

Cc: Brad Martin Subject: Windows 10 Being Forced on Users I just read this article, which admittedly is a month old. Many of you running JAWS versions older than the latest 16 may need to know about this. In short, in early 2016, if you have Windows set to download recommended updates, one day you'll find yourself starting down the Windows 10 upgrade path, and it will start happening every time there are recommended updates. Full article at http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/10/30/windows-10-upgrades-now-automatic/ Maybe it's just me, but it might be time for us to tell Microsoft just how much they'll be "helping" us by breaking our assistive technology. Most people won't know how to prevent it, and I know I won't have time to bother with this mess across all my workstations (with and without JAWS) in the middle of tax season. -- Brad Martin brad@... <mailto:brad@...> My Facebook page where I post online shopping coupons and deals: facebook.com/ucoupons <http://www.facebook.com/ucoupons> My SmarterBucks signup link <http://bit.ly/1w5FCPu> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
