Microsoft's first major update for its operating system system-as-a-service (Windows 10 Threshold ή έκδοση 1511), διαγράφει εφαρμογές χωρίς να ζητήσει την permission of the owners, according to dozens of complaints on forums. The programs removed by company περιλαμβάνουν τα εργαλεία παρακολούθησης υλικού CPU-Z και Speccy καθώς και το AMD Catalyst Control Center για tweaking στις κάρτες γραφικών Radeon.
In all the above scenarios, it seems that the programs were working properly, but the company considered it right to remove them without asking.
The Bright Spark at Reddit reported on Windows 10:
"Microsoft should ask for permission, not forgiveness. To be fair to this, I would like Windows 10 to mention:
"Hello, this application can cause problems and we recommend that you uninstall it. Do you want us to do this for you? ”
"Then if the user selects 'No' everything should stop there and not uninstall without any warning."
The company, of course, is legally covered for this behavior, as it has already explained in GamesBeat, has the right to remove software that it considers dangerous. This includes not only programs that can potentially cause problems with Windows 10, but also applications that can steal your information or infect your system.
"The Microsoft Services Agreement allows Microsoft to change or discontinue certain applications or content that we believe endanger your security," a Microsoft spokeswoman told GamesBeat in August.
"Software that is pirated or compromises the security of our customers, including malware, scams, public disclosure of personal information, and system malfunctions or malfunctions. We remain committed to protecting our customers from the dangers of non-genuine software and protecting the intellectual property of developers of all types of content. ”
So quite simply, by using Windows 10, you agree to Microsoft making these changes, whether you like it or not…
