This is basically the very reason Microsoft is moving to a subscription based service for both Office and Windows with forced updates. Good in theory for the average home user.

Pretty bad, actually. Firefox, in particular, is fond of releasing buggy updates. I just took 38.0.5 and I had to roll back because it would no longer handle email links or .html files on disk properly. Microsoft has also released a buggy upgrade or two in their time. I'd rather someone *else* be the early adopter.

The only reason Microsoft can get away with a garbage policy like this is they still essentially control the PC operating system market.
