Default Microsoft signs a waiver

http://borncity.com/win/2017/08/22/f...gned-a-waiver/

After long battle sfacing legal defeat at German courts, Microsoft signs a waiver to no more install W10 against the will of system owners.

Because the free Windows 10 upgrade offer (and Microsoft’s methods to press this OS to Windows 7/8.1 systems) ended on July 29, 2016, this waiver seems without a consequence. But the question I’m asking: Does Microsoft’s feature-upgrades in combination with Windows 10 auto-update mechanism violates the cease and desist letter with the criminal injunction?
This enforced updates download imposition has to come to an end - yesterday. System owners already have suffered too many damages from enforced updates that were broken, damaged stuff, and sometimes caused more drama than relief. The whole philosophy stinks to heaven. And they want to do this with half of their Windows top tech staff having gone voluntarily or gotten fired, being replaced with technology-incompetent marketing managers who sell the increased deficits and technical problems as "services" and "features".
