Is my PRIVACY AT RISK while using windows 10 ???

No one in this discussion has questioned your right to accept or not, you posted a discussion subject (In fact you asked a question: Is my PRIVACY AT RISK while using windows 10 ??? ::) on an open forum, which is for the purpose of each poster to express their point of view.

We are only expressing our point of view.

Regards & Happy Computing

Uh, no, actually I did not ask the question.

I posted my point of view in answer to the original question, the aforementioned : Is my PRIVACY AT RISK while using windows 10 ??? ::

If you are testing this operating system on a machine on which you do not do the majority of your computing, as suggested by Microsoft, no. You will only be testing things out and trying out a few websites and so on. If you are using it as the OS on your main machine not only are you disregarding what Microsoft says, risking your own data etc., but there is a slight risk to your privacy. Of course, all the data is going to be processed by machines not people as there will be far to much for anything else so I suspect the risk will be tiny.

Windows 10 TP is nothing more than windows 8.2 If you install Adobe Flash Player & test if it works, it detects Windows 10 TP as windows 8.1.

So Microsoft has been collecting Information on you for a long time, why worry about it now.

Why they are not calling this Windows 8.2 is simple, the do not wish to give free updates to any users.

The Speed at which Microsoft is discarding its OS - In 6 Years -Vista, then Windows 7, then Windows 8, then Windows 8.1 & finally in 2015 - Windows 10, in few years they whould have reached Windows 16, & this world being bored with Updating whould stop buying any products called Windows.

So at that time the Information they collect today shall come in handy to send out e-mails requesting users to please try out new Windows 16

No your privacy is not at risk.

How We Collect Data Part of windows 10 statement, I stress YOU MAY in all statements

You may provide information, such as your name and email address, to Microsoft for a specific purpose, such as a request for support. We also use a number of methods and technologies to gather data, such as:

• Web-enabled features in the Program that transmit information to Microsoft; and
• Technologies like cookies and web beacons. Microsoft may use cookies (small text files placed on a device’s hard disk by a web service) or similar technologies to provide the Program. For example, cookies may be used to store a user’s preferences and settings, to gather Experience Data, to authenticate a user, or to detect fraud.

This is information you already have given MS, when you install windows 10 or metro app, we have a choice.. This enables programmers to develop better software.

I do not see the problem, most of the world used google/apple/facebook/clouds. They all collect private Information to improve its software. The positive note we made the choice to install and read the privacy statement of software we install. WE made the choice. why complain now?.

I recommend REMOVING Windows 10 Preview from your PC.

Wait until after it's public release before installing.  After that, you'll be relatively safe because it's illegal for any company to collect that type of personal information from MINORS (hint hint hint).

If you consent as an adult for Microsoft to collect that information, then shame on you.  There are other OS'es out that don't collect personal info.

If you have legal concerns, contact an attorney.
