Windows 10 tries this but it's fairly easy to work around and doesn't pester you after you disconnect the internet. It's looking like from the information I find that thankfully it won't be as bad as all of that and you can change your appearance to windows 10? Depends on how much of a pain it all is. Can anyone confirm this information? Would be nice to see if multiple people have found this to be the case. Maybe the earlier leaks did force you to sign up and then they removed it after realising what a bad idea that would be.
