But there are benefits -- it will periodically check your hardware and software to make sure it's compatible with W10 before you make the big upgrade. Even if you checked initially, if later you install some new software or add new hardware, an incompatibility could arise later. It will also let you know in a timely manner when the update is available. And there is no assurance if you uninstall it that you will automatically get the official upgrade download -- even if you've officially reserved it.
But hey, if saving 0.3mb RAM (or even less) on your system is important to you, then by all means uninstall GWX. To me, saving 0.3mb ram is not worth having to later track down the separate file and reinstall it manually.
