Well paid "slave".

After reading (some) of the "documented" info about the "microsoft keylogger" on this thread, I am very curious of your opinion on the subject -->

I bet you will all come and tell me that's B.S. because google said isn't true.

 

Google did not say it was not true, in fact they said it was installed.

 

Thanks for this guide, some people like privacy, the PRISM program and other Government spying programs are still functioning like the Snowden leaks confirmed.

 

there so many users use this OS and know nothing about this

Microsoft making too many one-side steps lately

 

they been loggin what we do for the last 10 years. If its not MS it's the ISP... big bank wins.. So if MS wants data, it can afford to get it from the isp.. the posts I read about why this and why that crashes it what they care about. its given to get feedback and I plan on trying it out myself. I have been with this forum for some time, and have learned a lot but some people sshouldn't be here if they are so worried what MS may see!!!

 

I'll just wrap things up for you all

There is NO such thing as a keylogger.
Gabe Aul had said at one point way back when that it wasn't real

Now...where was I oh ya...

What is the advantage of disabling keylogger?

 

Well, it's not a keylogger, but we were working on ways to disable the telemetry and stuff in preparation for RTM for privacy reasons.

 

What's the verdict, do they offer an opt-out in the 10240 release. Is it respected by the system or does it turn itself back on.

What about corporate users, anyone find the group policy or domain method to disable it everywhere.

Not working in Pro version...

 

enterprise can only be set to off. not pro or others. (from what I see)

I see, you mean you cannot turn it off using the GUI.... I wonder if we track down the registry key this setting affects, will applying that to PRO or HOME cause the desired effect.

 

I was going to look, but haven't the time yet. Id like to install ENT and can see what changes in the REG when that is set to OFF, then we would have an idea where to look with pro/home.

 

Nah, don't go to all that trouble. Only need to open/find the correct ADMX file in the windows folder. It'll list the registry key and possible values.

Spoiler

I would have guessed 0 and 1, (on and off) but not settings 2 and 3. So what are the other telemetry levels ? My german decoder ring can only figure out a few of those words from the ADML.
