I wonder if Sony is concerned their pre-installed bloatware(spyware?) won't work under Win10?

The whole "software corruption" thing sounds suspicious.
OS upgrades don't "corrupt" apps unless those apps are doing something they shouldn't, like replacing OS dlls or hijacking the registry. They just make non-compliant apps stop working.

Bad choice of words, Sony.

Now I'm flashing back to the CD rootkit era.
