Wouldn’t be surprised if it send s that info to big brother as well. Much less provides big brother a back door to watch you.

The user is not informed of this while installing and setting up Windows 8, even though they are given the option to disable SmartScreen (which is enabled by default.)
I'll bet if you didable SmartScreen it will make Windoze 8 a degraded version; as in they will not provide certain upgrades or support...

What a stupid article!
Any hacker that can get into your computer now can see what you have installed.
With both iOS and Windows, updates are performed based on installed applications —— meaning, the information is already accessable to the companies!

Kind of like ‘the checks in the mail’ etc when it comes to Govt Surveillance.
Heavens to Murgatroyd! Even though it can be done WE would never do something like that..
Even the ‘old’ cop show reruns “L&O (whatever)” from early 2000 would have scenes of where a car is missing and the Detectives will sit around describing the car and (maybe) ‘Lenny’ will say. OH, that particular vehicle has a built in GPS or LOJACK or....etc... we can find it in a hurry.

They’ve already had a “Windows Me”. They should call this one “Windows Meh”.

I installed the free beta version of Win 8 on an older computer of mine. It is very fast and gave the machine new life. Took a while to get used to the interface but it was a short learning curve.
Personally I don't see a big deal with them knowing what apps I am running. I haven't stolen software.

Basically, the new Windows has this program called SmartScreen that's designed to protect users but instead gives Windows (and possible hackers) access to a lot of information.Can SmartScreen be disabled? In the meantime, I'll stick with Windows 7, Service Pack 1. Besides, I'm not crazy about the Metro look.

Is it any different for someone using an IPad? You don’t install anything on one of those without Apple knowing about it.
