It's not bad - it's the way it's being foisted upon people that's bad. Normally I'd say they're driving more people to their competition (most notably Apple) but Apple is equally bad (in fact worse in many respects) with their refusal to issue certificates for earlier iOS upgrades and thereby forcing people to either "upgrade" now or risk having a permanently obsolete / unsupported device when they arbitrarily decide to do this for a particular release. Their releases of MacOSX have not been nearly so heavy-handed (yet) but macs / laptops are declining in use and mobile devices are taking over - that's where Apple has been most conspicuously very Microsoft-esque and draconian.
