Microsoft can delete Windows 8 apps installed in your PC remotely!
In the Windows Store terms of use, Microsoft made it clear that it can pull the kill switch at its discretion.
"In cases where your security is at risk, or where we're required to do so for legal reasons, you may not be able to run apps or access content that you previously acquired or purchased a license for," said Microsoft in the Windows Store terms.
"If the Windows Store, an app, or any content is changed or discontinued, your data could be deleted or you may not be able to retrieve data you have stored," Microsoft said.
