EFF Petitioned To Investigate Windows 10 Upgrades (change.org)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the angry-online-activism dept.

An anonymous reader writes: One of the most frustrating things about the ongoing stream of stories about Windows 10 upgrades is that there seems to be no way to hold Microsoft to account. Or perhaps there is: a petition asking the Electronic Frontier Foundation to investigate has now been posted on Change.org.
The petition argues "people are being tricked or forced into upgrading to Windows 10 from their current, preferred version of Windows," and describes Microsoft's actions as "ignorantly unethical at best and malicious at worst."

      I think GNU/system===D is pretty great. It has a lot of features in common with Linux, and is partially compatible with that OS.

      Tired of Microsoft forcing unwanted changes on your OS? Use Linux where a small clique of Redhat engineers will do it instead!
