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

The petition asks for the EFF to "investigate Microsoft". What investigatory powers does the EFF have? They can't just show up in Redmond and go "hey assholes, open up" - so did the petition's author mean the FTC instead or something?
> Linux does not run most games
STOP
"Some games are still not designed to run on Linux" is more correct. This includes the subset of games that both (a) don't have a native Linux version and (b) use OS calls that WINE doesn't fully support yet.
Microsoft Windows doesn't run your games. Your games jumped through hoops to run under Microsoft Windows.
