From InfoWorld: If you thought the "Get Windows 10" nagware/scumware/malware battle was growing ugly, you're about to see it erupt. Admins are next up to be under the gun.
Yesterday, Microsoft GM Matt Barlow posted a note on the Technet Windows for IT Pros blog that announced the beginning of Windows 10 hunting season on domain-joined PCs.
Any Win7 or 8.1 system exposed directly to Windows Update is going to get pummeled with "Get Windows 10" nagware. If you have a domain-joined Win7 or 8.1 system that isn't running Enterprise edition, either the malware installer will come directly to you, or it'll be presented to your admin (via WSUS or SCCM). If you can bypass WSUS or SCCM -- it's amazing how many domain-joined PCs can do a side-run -- you may get the nagware installer directly.
Barlow's article goes on to explain that you can manually prevent Windows from installing the "Get Windows 10" scumware. He points to KB 3080351, which has just been modified to match the actual situation.
