Microsoft has admitted that the new Windows 10 operating system tracks keystrokes and examines audio input. The new operating system, currently a free download for users with Windows 7 and Windows 8 licences, not only tracks how long it takes to open different types of files, the make and model of device you're using, but it's also logging keystrokes and collecting voice recordings. Microsoft will not delete data already collected from Windows 10 users.

I wouldn't want to enter banking details etc on any machine with a key-logger whether supposedly innocuous or not. They say they'll share the data with selected partners... that makes it even worse, not only do they get it to call home with the data but then they broadcast it to all their mates.
