• Will Microsoft decide which programs you can run on Windows 10?

    Great question from reader PC:

    Is this real or just more hokum?

    Microsoft is now going to decide what programs you can run on Win10?

    I can understand malware, but does it stop there?

    Already they uninstall Speccy with every update. Is Speccy malware?

    I’m sure there is a longer list.

    Speccy isn’t malware, but it has had problems working with Win10.

    MSE has long, long history of knocking out malware. That particular Yahoo article doesn’t bother to link to the latest post on the topic:

    I think Barak Shein is right in what he says.
