Don't you wish this could happen?
Microsoft only listens to complaints when enough people complain about the same thing.
With nearly 14 million of us, Code Project members could put in a lot of complaints if we wanted to. The trick would be to organise the plan of ...um, I hesitate to use the word "attack" as this is not what I want to propose.
However, if we could, amongst ourselves arrange to all send in a complaint about a particular bug, feature or lack of one, perhaps we could get some results. I would suggest we limit ourselves to something actually achievable, not, for instance, "Replacing Windows 10 with Windows 7 again", which would be lovely but M$ is unlikely to take any notice unless all 500+ million supposedly happy users requested it.
We have the skills to auto-generate messages on the appropriate complaint message boards or fill out the bug reports. If enough members signed up to petition M$ on something we could generate the request messages for them and send them in. A couple of million requests, all for the same thing might have some impact. A bit like bots but with invested people and good intentions.
Opinions?

I would prefer the traditional method. It's more fun. Let's go to Redmond in person and build some battering rams, seige towers, trebuchets....

Count me in, as long as the raid loot is spread across the team evenly. 
need good tanks, healers, and damage dealers. They have some nasty bosses, so good tanks to draw aggro is advised.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yesterday I played Fallout 4 and had some Supermutants [^] coming for a visit. The leader had this document[^] with their orders with him.

I obviously need a break when any document with a RETURN at the end looks like the back-of-beermat draft for a new method.

Great! Just don't drop the stones on your feet. They are really heavy.
I know just the right place to order the adequate outfit. What are our team colors? Green and orange?

Don't need the link for that one. If we do that, we must be sure to be in it and get out right after we are inside. And since it's Mickeysoft, we should change the design to a mouse.

This time maybe we should fart in their general direction.

Sorry, but that is effectively a spam attack, because a large percentage of such a group would probably be of the "meh" opinion.

Spam?
I'd call it a revolution.
And one that's well past time, at that.

"boycott" - a good word but too many negative connotations.
"protest" - is not good in the same way.
"lobby" - feels too political and therefore negative also.

Maybe we should impose sanctions?

Which is what I asked for.
