Just a bit of a PSA for all you Windows 10 users.  I mentioned a while back that Windows 10 had a keylogger installed but we were given a link that explained that it was for the preview releases only.  Turns out that isn't the case, the keylogger is still there and in addition it records your voice.  This is concerning to say the least.  If you are stuck with Windows for what ever reason, follow the instructions here:

I personally don't believe this will actually do anything and is a waste of time.  If you have no real need for Windows and have the knowledge I strongly encourage you to move to Linux.  There are a number of really good systems out there and privacy and viruses aren't an issue.

For the interested, some links:
Ubuntu Linux, the most popular of the distros, though I find Canonical very inflexible and they don't listen to their users, plus Unity the Desktop Enviroment fucking sucks:
http://www.ubuntu.com/

Linux Mint, a more versatile system with devs that listen to their user base:
http://www.linuxmint.com/

Elementary OS, based on Ubuntu with a sort of OSX look. Elementary is an upcoming distro with a huge base.  eOS looks good but is too limited for my personal taste but I highly recommend this OS to any Windows users looking to move to Linux:
https://elementary.io/

Zorin OS, for a Linux based Windows clone (in looks only), I have never used this OS.  The windows look copy puts me off:
http://zorinos.com/

Antergos Linux, an Arch Linux based, extremely solid OS.  More for the medium to advanced users though it is extremely easy to install and use for the learner:
http://antergos.com/

Arch Linux, the Granpappy of Antergos.  This is what I am using and is the most solid and reliable OS I have ever used.  Leaves all for dust.  This is for the more advanced Linux user, saying that though if you are adventurous the Wiki is very detailed and easy to follow:
https://www.archlinux.org/

There are literally hundereds of Linux distributions and the ones I have mentioned are just the tip of the iceberg.

If anyone wants more information or wants help moving across I am available to offer assistance.

This recording of PC use, key logging as well as voice recording is not something that sits right with me, especially with the untrustworthiness of some particular governments and their agencies.

Please consider the move.

^Sounds like a good plan

^Yeah and therein lies the problem. But it´ll probably be a couple of years yet.

The spying updates from MS are being installed in Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 as well.  Other than XP which is nol longer suported you cant escape it.

^ Good idea man.

This might help with anoyone else pondering on changing OS's:
