Again, this ToS doesn't apply to Windows. The author of this article is trying to make the leap that it applies to Windows because this ToS is for Microsoft services (like Skype, Xbox Live, Store, etc) and many people will sign into Microsoft services on Windows.Originally Posted by akaTRAP
Honestly this is what I thought of when I first read the OP. And even if they magically decide to attack some of the games I have, it doesn't mean whatever comes after won't have a work-around. This is a cat & mouse game we're playing, and it doesn't help when sometimes a cracked version of a game runs better/is more enjoyable than a legitimate copy (GTA V, Far Cry 4, NFS: Rivals, just to name a few). Hell in order to have FC4 boot on a dual-core system (granted, anyone gaming on a PC likely has a quad-core processor at least) would have to apply a patch that's easier to do with a cracked version of the game. Don't get me started on NFS: Rivals. I shouldn't have to pirate a game to get a legit, offline single-player experience. If Microsoft seriously wants to try & block pirated games from running on Windows 10, LOL GOOD LUCK!
On top of that some of the ToS sounds exactly like the ToS you agree to when using their console. They'll ban the living mess out of any JTag/modded 360 consoles for obvious reasons, and I'm not even talking about the painfully obvious reason of stealing content using a product you don't even own in any way, shape, or form. Don't believe me? Read that ToS again. You don't own ANYTHING. Not the hardware you bought, the games you bought, the software you're paying to have access to, the service you pay to have access to, the account your service is on. YOU. OWN. NOTHING.
Really does sound like Microsoft is trying to close down Windows to be more like MAC OS X, which if true, is a HORRIBLE idea.
My university warned me about pirating while I was updating LoL over the school's network. Some ISPs just automatically flag any kind of P2P traffic.Originally Posted by KenjiS
My theory is that perhaps he downloaded the mods utilizing a torrent-style connection system
Know a few people who got in trouble updating WoW and such because of that

Probably has to do with Xbox One peripherals. Like controllers with aimbots and rapid fire, for example.Originally Posted by gooface
what's "unauthorized hardware peripheral devices"?
That would be the rational thing to do, and well.....this is OCNOriginally Posted by twistedbran
How about we sit back and lets see what happens rather than jumping on the... "Hey this sounds juicy, lets not think of all the good reasons for this, just the bad" bandwagon.
Yeah, I was just kinda raging for a minute. I've been talking to a lot of co-workers about windows 10, if they were upping and what not, and literally 90 percent of them said, is it like Windows 8, I hated windows 8. I my response after the first 3, became, wait what didn't you like about windows 8... All of them pretty much stated the Metro UI. Which I just retorted, you mean, you're using a bloated OS (7) over 8 because you can't install a Classic shell to make it more comfortable.... So you're sacrificing some novelty and faster boot - and well in general performance over ... tiles? It's like... SMMFH.... eh, I'm sure this is going to mess with someone tonight, but I digress, i'm just ranting after work.Originally Posted by HeavyUser

To be fair this is why i resisted going to 8 until 8.1... But I do like 8.1 with Classic Shell installed. If I remember right several things I used didnt play nicely with 8 either.. including my sound card (even when i got 8.1 the sound card did NOT have drivers iirc, and the Win 7 drivers crashed/had issues constantly..)Originally Posted by twistedbran

Man, haha.. Thats incredibly funny, so I have one of the titanium, champion... whatever ect ect ect pci-e card. Also after upgrading no sound, I didn't think much about it because I was about to factory reset for a clean install. Hell, after the clean install, not only do they work, I feel like the sound quality is actually better with what windows installed for them. It also realizes it's a creative *** ect.. Hell, SB don't even have drivers released yet for their platform.Originally Posted by KenjiS

As for 10, i do like it so far, i had a few problems with drivers for my sound on my laptop (which resulted in only the built in speakers being usable..) but after a few hours of messing around i got them working...
In other news, i dont think i will ever buy another creative labs sound card..
The issue on the Laptop is that its up to Dell to release drivers and basically they're saying my laptop isnt "Win 10 certified" even though the chip is a Sound Blaster Recon 3d...Originally Posted by twistedbran

It's because it's the mobile version of the chip and yeah, up to Dell.Originally Posted by KenjiS
