Petitioners want Microsoft investigated over Windows 10-based business practices

I really want to side against Microsoft on this one but it does come across as a bunch of whining.

Why is this even in the Frontroom?

If we want to talk about how someone almost died fighting poachers or questionable business tactics and what politics should do about it, it should be in the Backroom. Windows 10 topics belong in the Tech forum, as do folders that don't open.

Written on my Windows 10 desktop where all folders open, of which I have no video proof unfortunately.

The upgrade notice was definitely sleazy.
'Too many people closing the notice instead of agreeing to the update? I know, we can just make clicking X the same as accepting it and have it install anyway!'
If you have to trick people into installing your software, you've got problems.

If you're sick of the annoying notices and don't intend to upgrade, just download Never10. It edits the registry to have the same effect if your PC was managed by group policy and prevents the upgrade. Or better still, install Linux Mint

On one hand, I like Windows 10. But on the other, I really dislike the practice they have done to force it.

I know on a technical perspective, it is in Microsoft's interest for people to use the same OS so they don't have to keep supporting the older ones.. but yes.
