Hi Rich,

I saw that, what happened to 9 ?

According to the Media show MS wants to differentiate the next Windows OS from Windows 8, thus they skipped 9. It's also supposed to be different enough/better enough that 10 seemed a better number.

OS X anyone

I'm running Windows 10 Preview X64 in a Oracle VB client. Works very well and has some nice new thingies, but not much differenet from Windows 8.1.

Two things that I think people want with 10 is a more secure operating system and the start menu back, some people who are not to computer savvy are lost without the start menu

The Start Menu is hokey with the mix of Modern and old style links. I have no use at all for any of the Modern Start screen or apps so I changed the Windows 10 Start Menu to look like this:

Then changed it more to this:

Nice.

PERMISSION TO KEYLOG

If you are unaware of Microsoft’s privacy policy, so now you should pay attention to what the policy says. Microsoft is watching your every move on the latest Windows 10 Technical Preview, Thanks to portions of Microsoft's privacy policy, which indicates that the technology giant is using keylogger to collect and use users’ data in a variety of astounding ways without the user being aware.

“If you open a file, we may collect information about the file, the application used to open the file, and how long it takes any use [of] it for purposes such as improving performance, or [if you] enter text, we may collect typed characters, we may collect typed characters and use them for purposes such as improving autocomplete and spell check features,” the privacy policy states.

Essentially by accepting the Windows 10 privacy policy you are allowing Microsoft to screen your files and log your keystrokes. This means, if you open a file and type, Microsoft have access to what you type, and the file info within.

 This could likely one of the reasons why the company insisted that Windows Technical Preview not be installed on computers that are used every day.
