Windows 10, Windows 10 RTM, Windows 10 Final

“56.700065919578” Microsoft has 10 brought his consent for the use of all its services and products up to date with the introduction of Windows , Above all, a clause now falls on, according to the Redmond company to take reserve the right measures against the use of “fake games” and “unauthorized hardware peripheral devices.” In the German edition of the “Microsoft Service Agreement” designated document, with its contents, every user of Microsoft products agrees with their use, we find this passage. This now provides some excitement, because the document does not only affect the online services, but also Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, the Xbox game consoles and most other Microsoft products and services.

The following is there in the text: “We have the right to check your version of the software automatically This is the precondition for us to provide the services, software updates or configuration changes can download calculate this fee without you and the services including. those who they do have service, of playing fake games or the use of unauthorized hardware peripheral devices prevent , to update, improve and develop. In some cases you are required to update the software, so you can use the services on. ” (Emphasis added added.)

‘) Basically, this means that a Microsoft at any time the door for the adoption of measures against the use of products, either software or hardware, reserves that the software giant as “fake” or considered “unlawful”. Here the whole is not very clearly formulated, so that the company could in theory proceed, for example, against the use of “illegally” acquired games of third parties or other unwanted software – including key generators, crack, “pirated” and all sorts of other things, and against hardware devices, you should not use one of its products the company believes.

Of course, Microsoft is likely to actually appointed only in the rarest cases mentioned regulations in his service contract in order to take action against illegal software. Since the document not only Windows 10, but also all other products concerned, you want to insure themselves with the imprecise wording possibly against various contingencies. Nevertheless, the document now provides for discussion, because Windows 10 is currently classified anyway critical of some observers, specifically as regards the protection of privacy in connection with the exchange of a wide variety of data between the user’s computer and Microsoft’s servers.
