Despite the offer for
a free upgrade to Windows 10 ending almost three weeks ago, the animosity against Microsoft's operating system rages on. This time,
the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) called out the company for its aggressive upgrade tactics and privacy concerns.
The EFF breaks up its article into two parts, the first dealing with the upgrade tactics. It calls out the obvious with references to the Get Windows 10 app,
the switch to Windows 10 being a recommended update, and of course, when
Microsoft changed the Get Windows 10 app so that closing it confirmed the upgrade.
It's at this point that a reader would wonder what the point of the EFF's article is. If it's to serve as a warning to potential Windows 10 users, none of that section is relevant at all, given that all of those aggressive tactics are in the rear-view mirror. If it's a call-to-action for Microsoft, that doesn't make it more pertinent. The entire section of the article comes across as a means of setting the reader up for the next section: privacy concerns.
