Windows 10 Technology Preview will collect user information

Computer Store News: Although there have been reports recently that users don't care much about their privacy, with the release of the Windows 10 Technology Preview, many people are beginning to worry. According to foreign media The Inquirer, Windows 10 will deeply track the user's use or non-use of functional modules. Before downloading the preview, Microsoft will show you a privacy policy statement:

“Microsoft will collect information about your devices, applications, networks, and use of these devices, applications, and networks. Related information. The data we collect includes your name, email address, preferences and interests; browsing, search, and history of files; phone and SMS data; device configuration and sensor data; and application usage.

In addition, Microsoft will pay close attention to application compatibility and collect voice messages when you use the "sound to text" function. Obviously, Microsoft's move is to understand the specific performance of this update in order to improve it.

But there is another paragraph that caught our attention: "When you open a file, we may collect information about the file, the application that opened the file, and how much time it took to open it." . As you type in the text, we may collect the typed characters to improve features such as auto-completion and spell checking.

Given that Windows 10 is still in the preview test phase, Microsoft may not bring too much criticism for the time being. But when the official version was launched, we didn't know if the official would give a more reasonable permission request.
