But on Windows 7, you could choose not to install updates you didn't want or to uninstall them later, and many people did.

The obvious suspicion here is that bundling the changes is an excuse for Microsoft to force updates people don't want, Windows 10 style, onto people whose Windows 7/8 systems currently allow them to choose.

In theory, aren't those individual update packages removable?

Does anyone know what's in the telemetry yet?
