    Kari,

    You should know Microsoft may not know who is using windows 10 preview but they do track you and possibly track your key stroke that is in the windows 10 preview agreement. From my understanding on this, they want to see what applications crash, what applications people use the most, they want to see websites you visit, How well cortana work or doesn't work or is disabled by the user. They want to track your purchase as well, to what you buy. From my understanding they won't track secure store websites. Another words they won't be able to see your credit/debit card number unless your purchasing something directly from Microsoft.
    Uh, methinks Kari was using subtle, exaggerated sarcasm as a humor mechanism (in other words, he gotcha?).

    Yeah, I figured that out.

    No one really knows what the windows 7 KB3022345 update really does if it does anything at all. No one has studied the inter-workings of that particular update-yet.

    As I understand it.

    Microsoft is trying to sneak different KB's into Windows 7 to peak at things. They don't give exact information what they are looking for.

    If someone could give a site to find out exactly what these KB's are looking for it would be very helpful. Until Microsoft releases that information we really don't know and all we can do is speculate.

    Kari do you know what Microsoft is looking for??
    If so where can we read about it?

    As Carwiz said "We become guilty by association" everyone is a potential suspect now and we are slipping slowly in the paranoid world of their Games...I wouldn't be in the Microsoft socks at the moment. Its a way to freak away the people what's our governments are doing by allowing secret services to have an access to all the datas exchanged over the Net and the Mobile network.

    That said, MS will have to wait and be patient to have my end-users agreement for Windows 10 (retail, of course).
    I do quote my own post since i just read that: NSA bulk phone data collection ruled illegal by U.S. Court of Appeals

    Which is not really happening where i'm living since our Senate have valid something similar on May 05.

    But that's not entirely this forums to talk about.

    Microsoft is looking for selling its OS but must be torn apart by law & order.

    Terms of use do not follow that anyway :)
    They should but do not apply to companies to individuals for products free or paid for.

    I agree there shouldn't be any differences but then again Google would of flopped years ago,
    M$ has just learned from users of Google produces and is going the same route = pity.

    Humm, i meant by "selling its OS" just in a commercial way as its a corporation with employees that needs profit.

I've noticed this on some (not all) of my machines here at work. System in example is an Dell Latitude E6530 running fully up to date Windows 7 64bit on our domain. When a user logs on, the system decides it wants to detect network printers for some reason. It then tries to unsuccessfully...

Very strange problem. I recently cleaned a client's HP Windows 7 Home system from a malware infection and the computer is in a rather odd state. It will run any 64-bit application, but will not run any 32-bit app. It took me about an hour to notice that there were no processes in Task Manager...
