windows 10 - Built in Keylogger

Today i have installed windows 10 - x64 Technical preview on my VM

----




The Windows 10 Technical Preview is generating plenty of excitement — though not exclusively in a positive way. The web lit up over the past couple of days with talk that Windows 10 had a built-in keylogger and was spying on testers.












The “key-logger” is gathering usage data that will help Microsoft determine what’s working and what isn’t in the Windows 10 preview. It’ll help fix bugs in Windows Search or anywhere else a text input box pops up. It’ll help improve features like spell-checking and auto correct — tricks that can be hard to pull off if Microsoft can’t see what you’re typing. The license agreement even mentions this specifically: “we may collect typed characters and use them for purposes such as improving auto complete and spell check features.”
