Ah, right! I think I've read it and forgot. I guess I'd get accustomed to 8 if I had no other choice, but as for now, my curiosity ("What can be so hard in shifting to new software, anyway. Not the first and not the last time in life. Let's check it out!") in matter of minutes turned into one of greatest software disappointments ever. I find it very counter-intuitive and seems like most effort was invested into hiding everything. I'm waiting anxiously for 10 and next ones. I hope they will be more to my taste.
in their agreement they have a thing that says if they find any illegal programs on your machine they reserve the right to delete them. ...?! Oh, come on, you must be kidding, Microsoft...
The Daily Dot reported on an alarming development connected to Windows 10's End User License Agreement. "Microsoft won't hesitate to make sure the programs and games you have installed on your computer are legitimate, and if not, it has the right to disable them." The agreement includes preventing "unauthorized hardware peripheral devices" but who determines legitimate use could be a problem.
They are clearly hand in glove with TPP and TTIP. :(
And how are they going to guarantee me this legality detecting whatnot of theirs never mistakes? Knowing how such things tend to work, it will block honestly paid things because they were outdated versions it couldn't recognize or whatever. Meanwhile, I'm sure pirates will be finding a way to slalom around it in matter of days after every update, at worst. And I wish them fair winds.
