Windows 10 is watching you
17.08.2015 15:41
Microsoft now has the ability to automatically search your computer and disable games and programmes that shouldn’t be there.
According to tech website alphr, Microsoft has updated their End User License terms and if you’ve got Windows 10 you’ve just agreed to them.
The new terms state: "Microsoft’s Services EULA may automatically check your version of the software and download software update or configuration changes, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorised hardware peripheral devices.”
This basically means if you use any Microsoft product, including Windows phone, and have pirated software installed, the tech firm can ban you from using it.However, there is some confusion over what Microsoft means by "unauthorised hardware peripheral device” with some suggesting Microsoft could even block PCs that aren't certified or ban gamers from using illegal Xbox One controllers.
Illegal software is clearly a big issue that Microsoft wants to crack.
The industry loses billions every year from users pirating software from friends and torrent sites.
But having your PC remotely searched by Microsoft may not go down too well with Windows fans.
