Isn't it sad when the trend you first noticed back in the Windows 98 days completes your most cynical predictions? With Microsoft poised to automatically update your Windows 7 installation to Windows 10, I would say that my most cynical predictions have come true about Windows. Microsoft has finally reached a level of arrogance in assuming they know what's best for your PC including what version of Windows you should be running. The "You are an idiot" mentality inherent in their OS design has become intolerable.
If Microsoft goes through with this, and I find one day my one and only Windows 7 installation updated to Windows 10 accidentally, I will put my foot down and I will drop Windows support from DOSBox-X entirely. All Windows-specific code will be removed and disabled.
It would be one thing if Windows 10 continued to be a free upgrade option from 7 and 8, because that gives users choice, but that's not what Microsoft has decided, apparently. That's the issue.
Think about your actions, Microsoft.
