Re: Let the lawsuits begin
Microsoft should get shafted over this. Sneaky tactics like starting the upgrade when people clicked the X button are not the way a professional organisation should operate.

Re: Troubling precedent
This could have wider implications. A Pastafarian Minister (Which I am) can currently legally conduct marriages in the US, with a Marriage licence. This can be obtained with just your Ministerial certificate ($20) and a letter of good standing from the Church (Free with the certificate). Also, serving US soldiers can have "CFSM" as their religion on their dog tags. I wonder if these rights will also be revoked?

Re: Batteries not included
As you said "the really cold weather we've been having can kill the battery life of such devices" so therefore if you use your paper map as your primary source and it blows away, you reach into your pack only to find the cold weather has killed your battery, therefore no backup!
That's why it's more sensible to use your phone as your primary navigation tool. If the battery goes flat, you still have your nice, dry, map and compass in your backpack as a backup.

Re: HP Stream 7
considering the HP Stream 7 only costs £75 from the Microsoft store with Office 365 for a year I think it's an absolute steal and love mine. Yes it's not a full PC experience but I've found it nippy, good for email and browsing and have none of the hardware issues you have (I'd return yours)

Simple solution to this problem- Instant 3 month driving ban for anyone caught using a phone behind the wheel. No excuses, none of this "i'm a critical worker so need a car" rubbish just an instant ban. If caught a second time, another ban followed by a re-test. The only way to stop retards using their phone behind the wheel is to make the penalty so high that people don't risk it.
