Windows 10 may become an anti-piracy tool

With the recent change in the terms of use of Windows 10, the user is giving permission to the new operating system to seek out and shut down illegal software and hardware. This change was detected last week at point 7b of the software user license agreement for Europe at site PC Authority. The said point indicates that, during the operating system automatically updates the distributed system configuration changes can be made that can prevent use of counterfeit programs, games or the use of unauthorized hardware.
And while on the software side, the terms appear to be acceptable at first sight, on the hardware side the phrase is so vague that it can mean basically everything that Microsoft find illegal since a sound card to a command that does not has the certification seal of the enterprise for Windows.
There are no news that this rule has been applied and further developments are expected soon.
