Windows 10 may disable the software pirate

Have you installed the updates for Windows 10? Probably yes. Have you read the EULA? Of course not, because otherwise you would have already launched your holy war (of words) on the Internet . Let me be clear, none of us read those endless pages of gibberish and boring, but someone wanted to do, showing us once again that we should lose a few minutes all of them before signing contracts. In this particular case, Microsoft warns that the operating system may control the configuration of the computer and, if so, provide for disable software, hardware or services illegal.

“Sometimes you ‘ ll need software updates to keep using the Services. We may automatically check your version of the software and download software updates or configuration changes, including Those That prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorized hardware peripheral devices. You may also be required to update the software to continue using the Services. “

There translate everything but the concept is that Windows 10 may block the downloaded games in an” alternative “so disable some crock hardware deemed illegal . The problem is figuring out what Microsoft intends for authorized hardware, since it is not well specified. And what is meant by unauthorized software: it is natural that a game is not cracked, but think of the gray area represented by emulators or programs such as AnyDVD, but that also used by pirates, have legitimate uses, but not authorized.

However, needless to panic: at the moment there are no reports of hardware / software blocked by the OS, but remains valid advice to always read the EULA. Remember what happened to Kyle from South Park, right ? Click, if only you have a strong stomach.
