MS have announced a new 'unified Microsoft services policy' which has been running from the start of this month. (Didn't hear that one!)
It covers Xbox, Bing, Cortana, OneDrive, Outlook.com, Skype and Xbox Live as far as I can tell.
All these things happen to 'spill' over onto your PC which is now running Win10.
[MS: If it isn't it should be. You know it makes sense.]Therefore if you combine the new 'Services Policy' with the new improved EULA you have no right to control anything according to MS.
I anticipated some movement, obviously I underestimated the drive the 'Scent of Money' would generate, it gives the right to control what s/w and h/w you are allowed to use to MS. (Where have I seen that idea before ??!!
)
Give a little bit of time and some subtle scope creep in the T's & C's and it is all over for Personal Computing as we know it.
Probably, on further thought, Subtle is not a word MS seem to know.
They are really running at full speed toward emulating Apple and their total control of their users.
If you have a slight feeling of uneasiness and can feel/hear a faint rustling/clinking noise .... it's just MS lightening your pockets of any spare cash !
......... It's just a practice run so everyone gets used to the concept.
When they get your CC numbers & Bank Account details the process won't hurt at all! Honestly.
