Was just reading this

Can't vouch for its' veracity but if true, it sounds damn intrusive.
Thought I would pass it along for all you Google fans to ponder

Sounds absurd. But it certainly gives the impression that the author knows what he is talking about.

The claim has been backed up by media around the world. A very reliable British paper had this to say

Microsoft should talk. It's been rumored that their Kinect does the same thing.

I saw this in a PC World magazine article about Windows 10:

I’m a little less certain how users will respond to the layout, though. I haven’t seen anything that jumps in front of users and introduces them to the Windows 10 experience, or even tells you what “Microsoft Edge” is. You scoff, but Microsoft says only six percent of users use ALT-TAB to bounce from one app to another.

How does Microsoft know that? I know that we Windows 10 beta testers are sending a lot of information to Microsoft but this kind of makes me wonder just exactly what kind of information Microsoft is collecting. I don't think this percentage number is just Windows 10 users and it sounds like it might be coming from users of a lot of versions.
