Previewing Windows 10 may cost you some privacy!

Microsoft is offering a preview of the Windows 10 operating system. It is still not ready for prime time, but they will let you look it over. There just happens to be a little catch! When you agree to the software license, you agree to send them what your doing in real time. This just happens to include a keylogger (recording your keystrokes). I'm sure they won't call it that, but they are collecting text you type, and that sounds like a keylogger program to me.

Windows 10 Preview


So keep that in mind as you are checking out the new Windows 10 preview. I'm sure something like that would never make it to the real release of Windows 10, but if you don't like the idea of every keystroke you make being recorded, you might want to just let someone else preview Windows 10 for you. You can read more about it at winbeta.org.
