This week
Microsoft Corporation announced the newer version of its Operating
system, which is named as 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 windows 10 , but
something really went wrong there !
Well, how
many users actually read the “Privacy Policy” documents before
downloading the Preview release of Windows 10? None of you right ?
because most computer users have habit of ignoring that lengthy paragraphs and
simply click “I Agree” and then “next”. Do you really know what permissions you
have granted to Microsoft by installing Free Windows 10 Technical Preview
edition?
What Data Microsoft is Collecting ?
If you are unaware
of Microsoft’s Windows 10 privacy policy, so now you should give a little
attention to what the policy says. Microsoft Inc. is watching your each and
every move on the latest Windows 10 Technical Preview, Thanks to portions of
company’s privacy policy, which indicates that they are using keylogger to collect and use users’ data
in a variety of astounding ways without the user being aware. Essentially by
accepting the Windows 10 privacy policy you are allowing Microsoft Inc. to screen
your files and log your keystrokes. Which means, if you are opening a file
and write any data, Microsoft have access to whatever you type, and the
file info within.
The company will
be watching your applicatios for compatibility checking, and collect voice
data when you use speech to text. This information will be then used to
improve speech processing, according to Microsoft.However, it is clearly known
that they are not going to use those data to access users’ bank accounts, but
the fact is that the Microsoft is collecting data by all means,
could possibly open a way for someone to steal and misuse the info
for their own purpose.
Although the
feedback being collected in the Windows Technical Preview will only occur
within the Technical Preview period. Once Microsoft Windows 10 launches to the
public, Microsoft will be remove the keylogger from the operating system.
