Don't know where this will go since I'm not a lawyer or that knowledgeable about the MS license agreement, but this should be interesting considering that MS downloaded software on your PC without your consent. Was it legal? Don't know...

Not surprised, given the litigious society we've got these days.

MS has more lawyers and $$ than Donald Trump. I am sure that somewhere in the TOS it says "Bite Me"

wvjohn would know best, but it's a nonsense lawsuit in my opinion. Win10 is not installed automatically. Legally it's no different than a service pack update. The normal operation of Windows update stores update files on your drive all the time.

Yes it's annoying, and in my opinion pre-loading 3GB of files for an update you may never want is pushing it over the edge, but it's not illegal and I'm sure it's covered in their terms of service.
