You have to love Microsoft. Beginning for windows 10 users.

As I have said for quite some time, I'm surprised that Microsoft Windows is as widely deployed globally as it is because it's a closed system. And apparently Microsoft does make source code selectively available in some instances to major states where they have, like, they have to show what they're doing in order to get the okay. But we've moved to a mode now where, as we know, Windows 10 systems no longer have any choice about accepting updates. So Microsoft literally has an institutionalized software implantation system in place today. We have no reason to believe that Microsoft would ever or has ever abused that; and it would be, I think, the last thing that they would do. But the facility is there.

From the PDF version.

"Windows 10 systems no longer have any choice about accepting updates. Microsoft literally has a institutionalized software implantation system in place today. Microsoft can install any software they wish -- on the fly -- into anyone's machine that they wish."
