When you click through the Windows 10 "agreement," you agree to let microsoft office product key subject your games and hardware to authenticity tests and to seal down anything this doesn't happen like the looks of.

As intended, this allows the company to impose extrajudicial punishments on you for offenses which it gets to make up on the fly. They're banning "unauthorized" hardware -- if it comes in a box that says "Compatible with Intel motherboards," and then spoofs the board to trick it into operating with it, is it "unauthorized," or only a third-party replacement part that does what every third-party printer cartridge does already?

But then there's the unintentional consequences: Microsoft may get it wrong. You can unknowingly receive an unauthorized part within your body, provided by a manufacturer (who may also be unaware of the actual fact), and have your machine brick itself equally as you're about to do something critical: give you a big presentation, administer anesthesia, or provide air-traffic control support into a stricken jetliner.

And then there's what happens when (not if) office 2013 product key gets hacked -- by crooks or spies or police forces -- and pushes the killswitch command to anyone they just don't like.

Section 7b ?§C or "Updates towards the Services or Software, and Changes to those Terms" ?§C of Microsoft's Services EULA stipulates it "may automatically check your version of the software and download software update or configuration changes, including the ones that prevent you from accessing the help, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorised hardware peripheral devices."

The list of services covered by the agreement doesn't explicitly include cheap Windows 10 . However, it will include your Microsoft account, that's an extensive section of the Windows 10 experience, as well as core features like Cortana ?§C and that implies Redmond can disable any games you've pirated or devices you've "unlawfully" hacked. Enable Cortana (which pretty-much everyone using Windows 10 will work) and you're at the mercy of the Services agreement.
