I reverted back to Windows 7 after reading Microsoft's Big Brother Privacy agreement. My computer died within 2 months. The only way I was able to bring it back to life was to do a clean install of Windows 10. Now I am stuck with it on my laptop. Thank God I didn't put it on my desktop. I am EXTREMELY disappointed with the lack of respect and the shove it down your throat (hiding Windows 10 download in regular updates) approach from Microsoft. My hope is that someone with integrity will invent a superior operating system and Microsoft will find itself kicked to the curb.
Is my PRIVACY AT RISK while using windows 10 ???

I mean am i really safe using windows 10 technical preview. Microsoft can get to my email address,my password,my ATM card information,My browsers history,my surf logs and other details.I don't want Microsoft to know what am i doing over internet. They can get to any private information of my as i type it over the keyboard. I don't feel secure using windows 10 anymore. They don't have the right to know somebodies personal stuff. I don't want Microsoft to watch my each and every move. Is not really an inhuman approach of interfering with someones personal data and information and their privacy?
I JUST DON'T WANT THEM TO TRACK MY INTERNET ACTIVITY AS THAT IS WHAT WE USE ON DAILY BASIS AND DON'T WANT OTHERS TO KNOW WHAT I AM DOING OVER THE INTERNET. THEY CAN COLLECT ANY OTHER INFORMATION AS THEY WANT TO DEVELOP THE NEW VERSION OF WINDOWS. I AM STILL USING WINDOWS 10 TECHNICAL PREVIEW BECAUSE IT IS JUST GREAT TO USE AN OPERATING SYSTEM THAT IS A COMBINATION OF WINDOWS 7 AND WINDOWS 8.JUST RESPECT SOMEBODIES PRIVACY.THAT'S ALL.

You are a bit late. Linux has been free and safe for years. If Windows 10 is so bad, install Linux, Linux Mint is pretty good, and avoid all these terrible things Microsoft does.
As a safety tip, don't use the Internet, though, or bits of your information will hang around is all sorts of places. Just use you new installed Linux machine offline and you will be safe.
