+<em>Malware</em> means software designed to function in ways that
+mistreat or harm the user. (This does not include accidental errors.)
+This page explains how Microsoft software is malware.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Malware and nonfree software are two different issues. The difference
+between <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a> and
+nonfree software is in
+<a href="/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html">
+whether the users have control of the program or vice versa</a>. It's
+not directly a question of what the program <em>does</em> when it
+runs. However, in practice nonfree software is often malware,
+because the developer's awareness that the users would be powerless to fix
+any malicious functionalities tempts the developer to impose some.

<a

+

+ <a
href="http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/07/windows-10-updates-to-be-automatic-and-mandatory-for-home-users/">forcibly
and immediately imposed</a>.</p></li>

+ <li><p><a

+ Windows 8 also has a back door for remotely deleting
apps</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>You might well decide to let a security service that you trust
+ remotely <em>deactivate</em> programs that it considers
malicious.
+ But there is no excuse for <em>deleting</em> the programs, and
you
+ should have the right to decide who (if anyone) to trust in this
way.</p></li>

+
+<p>The wrongs in this section are not precisely malware, since they do
+not involve making the program that runs in a way that hurts the user.
+But they are a lot like malware, since they are technical Microsoft
+actions that harm to the users of specific Microsoft software.</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li><p>Once Microsoft has tricked a user into accepting
installation
+ of Windows
+ 10, <a
href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/01/windows_10_nagware_no_way_out/">they
+ find that they are denied the option to cancel or even postpone the
+ imposed date of installation</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>This demonstrates what we've said for years: using proprietary
+ software means letting someone have power over you, and you're
+ going to get screwed sooner or later.</p></li>
+
+ <li><p>Microsoft
+ has <a
href="http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/16/10780876/microsoft-windows-support-policy-new-processors-skylake">desupported
+ all future Intel CPUs for Windows 7 and 8</a>. Those machines will
+ be stuck with the nastier Windows 10.
+ <a
href="http://gizmodo.com/only-the-latest-version-of-windows-will-run-on-some-fut-1753545825">
+ AMD and Qualcomm CPUs, too</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>Of course, Windows 7 and 8 are unethical too, because they are
+ proprietary software. But this example of Microsoft's wielding its
+ power demonstrates the power it holds.
+ </p>
+ <p>Free software developers also stop maintaining old versions of
+ their programs, but this is not unfair to users because the
+ users of free software have control over it. If it is important
+ enough to you, you and other users can hire someone to support
+ the old version on your future platforms.

+ <a

+ Windows 10 sends identifiable information to Microsoft</a>, even if a
user
+ turns off its Bing search and Cortana features, and activates the

+
+ <li><p>
+ Microsoft uses Windows 10's “privacy policy” to overtly impose a
+ “right” to look at users' files at any time. Windows 10 full disk
+ encryption <a
href="https://edri.org/microsofts-new-small-print-how-your-personal-data-abused/">
+ gives Microsoft a key</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>Thus, Windows is overt malware in regard to surveillance,

+
+ <p>We can suppose Microsoft look at users' files for the US government
on
+ demand, though the “privacy policy” does not explicit say so.
Will it
+ look at users' files for the Chinese government on demand?</p>
+
+ <p>The unique “advertising ID” for each user enables other
companies to
+ track the browsing of each specific user.</p>
+
+ <p>It's as if Microsoft has deliberately chosen to make Windows 10
