WINDOWS 8 SUCCESSOR: Windows 10 Unveiled Instead Of Windows 9. by MrRainBigxtorm(m): 9:27pm On Oct 05, 2014
This week Microsoft announced the next
version of its Operating system, dubbed
WIndows 10, providing Windows 10 Technical
Preview release under its " Insider Program" in
order to collect feedback from users and help
shape the final version of the operating
system, but something really went WRONG!
“ Inside Microsoft’s Insider
Program you'll get all the latest
Windows preview builds as
soon as they're available. In return,
we want to know what you think.
You’ll get an easy-to-use app to give
us your feedback, which will help
guide us along the way .” Microsoft
website reads .
Well, how many of you actually read the
“ Terms of Service ” and “ Privacy Policy”
documents before downloading the Preview
release of Windows 10? I guess none of you,
because most computer users have habit of
ignoring that lengthy paragraphs and simply
click " I Agree " and then " next ", which is not
at all a good practise.
Do you really know what permissions you
have granted to Microsoft by installing Free
Windows 10 Technical Preview edition? Of
Course, YOU DON’T. Well, guess what, you've
all but signed away your soul !!
PERMISSION TO KEYLOG
If you are unaware of Microsoft’s privacy
policy, so now you should pay attention to
what the policy says. Microsoft is watching
your every move on the latest Windows 10
Technical Preview, Thanks to portions of
Microsoft's privacy policy, which indicates
that the technology giant is using keylogger
to collect and use users’ data in a variety of
astounding ways without the user being
aware.
“ If you open a file, we may collect
information about the file, the
application used to open the file, and
how long it takes any use [of] it for
purposes such as improving
performance, or [if you] enter text, we
may collect typed characters, we may
collect typed characters and use
them for purposes such as improving
autocomplete and spell check
features, ” the privacy policy states .
Essentially by accepting the Windows 10
privacy policy you are allowing Microsoft to
screen your files and log your keystrokes.
This means, if you open a file and type,
Microsoft have access to what you type, and
the file info within.
This could likely one of the reasons why the
company insisted that Windows Technical
Preview not be installed on computers that
are used every day.
OTHER DATA COLLECTION
But Wait! Wait! Not just this, Microsoft says it
may collect even more data. The company
will be watching your apps for compatibility,
and collect voice information when you use
speech to text. This information will be used
to improve speech processing, according to
Microsoft.
" When you acquire, install and use
the Program, Microsoft collects
information about you, your devices,
applications and networks, and your
use of those devices, applications and
networks," the privacy policy states.
" Examples of data we collect include
your name, email address, preferences
and interests; browsing, search and
file history; phone call and SMS data;
device configuration and sensor data;
and application usage. "
Though, technology companies continue to
develop a fine line on the issue of privacy and
data collection and based on the information
which the Microsoft collects, it could have
thousands of username and password
combinations stored in a database
somewhere. But we may well see a public
feedback to this newest attempt to mine
users data.
However, it is clearly known that they are not
going to use those data to access users’ bank
accounts or company's private network, but
the fact that the company is collecting data
by all means, could possibly open a way for
someone to steal and misuse the information
for their own purpose.
Although the feedback being collected in the
Windows Technical Preview will only occur
within the Technical Preview period, reported
by WinBeta. Once Windows 10 launches to
the public as RTM, the data Microsoft
collects will be removed from the operating
system.
If you wish to test it out, you can Download
Windows 10 Preview at there official website.

It is no flop: the Win10 is a fresh build from scratch, But MS didn't want to do a major name change like xp to vista. They skipped 9 to tell u that this is not a continuation but a fresh breed .

Data collection is only done on d test version , it would stop when major ish has been identified n patched.
