where can we see the cite that this quote came from?"We must stress that the feedback being collected in the Windows Technical Preview will only occur within the Technical Preview period. Once Windows 10 launches to the public as RTM, the data Microsoft collects will be removed from the operating system. This isn't a permanent feature within Windows 10, and therefore should not be a concern to your average Joe."
still..who could possibly trust the U.S. govt. when MS n Google are in bed w/ them, particularly Google, in spite of what their privacy policy states? at least MS came forward w/ the data collection, but no way do i trust that its not going to be part of the OS when it comes out."We must stress that the feedback being collected in the Windows Technical Preview will only occur within the Technical Preview period.
