"An update to Microsoft's End User License Agreement allows Windows 10 to remotely disable counterfeit software or hardware on your computer.
Alphr first spotted the change which came into effect on August 1. Section 7b of the EULA states that Microsoft 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.'"
Just so you know.

All this talking about windblows 10 spying capabilities (as if 8, 7 and vista didn't already excel at it) and yet no article to center the very gist of every kind of proprietary code: the mere objective immanent nature of proprietary software, that is to say secretneess and closedness. We can not read the code and hence we can not trust the code. Would you trust a man with a mask on his face? I would not.
We need to treat every and all kind of proprietary software as malware. And that is what it actually is often times.

Nothing new. But can't believe how crappy and horrible it is.
Microsoft is also having a new policy where they keep the majority of details regarding patches/updates a secret: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/21/microsoft_will_explain_only_significant_windows_10_updates/
