Yes, because there's no way this system will delete an authentic program thinking it's pirated. Another reason not to upgrade.

Better also uninstall your Windows 7/8/XP/whatever.

Well once again anti MS click bait BS.... MS is talking about their own software and services which is pretty much legit on their part to protect their property and their honest customers...
They won't touch anything on your DD and certainly not do any policing for third parties... Anybody that think different needs to be checked... What would be the gain for MS wasting money to protect third party property for free??? Yeah right...

Isn't this only for Windows 10 games though?


Yes, the ones from the Windows store and it also pertains to Xbox One hence the hardware part.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Yeah, Bing (disabled) and Spotlight, which has a big separate option in the Control Panel (disabled as well). Then we get clearly asked if we want to send crash data to Apple. Windows 10 even after disabling everything is still sending data to MS. 

Then sure, anything with iCloud. But that's the definition of a Cloud service. And again it must be set up. MS is pretending to say that the service is the OS itself (which in IT is an aberration). Just wait for them charging monthly, like with XBL. Any hidden clause in the EULA about that?
