Seems that Windows 10 is not being implemented with tight security in mind - from TechWorm:
Microsoft’s Windows 10 has permission to watch your every move
Microsoft launched its Windows 10 on Tuesday and is giving all members of its Windows Insider Programme a free look see at the new Windows 10. Microsoft is giving the Windows 10 Technical Preview version as a gesture of openness and willingness to collaborate with developers and users and get their feedback on the ultimate Windows 10 that it may launch by the end of this year.
As more and more users are jumping the queue to download the Windows 10 through the Windows Insider Program, almost all of them have forgotten to check the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions users accept while downloading the Windows 10. If you study the privacy policy you will be startled at the amount of freedom you are giving Microsoft to spy on you.
“Microsoft collects information about you, your devices, applications and networks, and your use of those devices, applications and networks. 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.”
The above stuff may or may not be used against any user and forms the standard of any privacy policy by any Applications maker but study a bit further and you may get more and more surprised. In a way by accepting the Windows 10 Technical Preview installation you are giving Microsoft unhindered access to your behavioural habits
“We may collect information about your device and applications and use it for purposes such as determining or improving compatibility” and “use voice input features like speech-to-text, we may collect voice information and use it for purposes such as improving speech processing.”
In simple words, Windows 10 Technical Preview is a collecting your voice, your chats, and your voice. Albeit it is doing so with your permission.
Granted, this is the technical preview edition and not the commercial version - still, doesn't exactly give me the warm and fuzzies.
Also, what is with skipping a generation?
Windows XP rocked. Vista sucked. Win7 rocks, Win8 sucks. Windows Nine is scheduled to rock and they are skipping over it and going right to Windows 10 which will suck. Still running XP on a few machines with old software and they are isolated from the Internet. Planning to run Win7 for a long long time...
