If you're toying with the idea of testing the technical preview of
WIndows 10 - be careful what info you access with it!

Seems it's harvesting pretty much all information you access or type
using it.

(Not really "shocka" news, but a little surprising about the keylogger
and voice recorder)


fyi -to be fair Microsoft states on the download site that - you should
not use or access sensitive data using the preview - when it encounters
a problem it scans the disk and sends as much info as possible back to
MS for analysis.

You could add a file with links to open source tools for them...
