Exclusive: Microsoft exec responds to Windows 10 privacy backlash

After a long wait, Microsoft is trying to put things in Windows 10 that collects information about you.

Since Windows 10 was launched in July, it had a direct bearing on how Microsoft uses its new operating system to secretly collect data about customers of CTI.

Microsoft has been accused of lack of transparency in the way that records your keystrokes, actions to your Wi-Fi network access, you use your Internet connection to help customers download updates to Windows 10, and it is forbidden to light any exchange of information.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has remained mostly tight-lipped, denying nothing harmful was generally referring people to STIs while convoluted.
 On Monday, Microsoft has issued its first comprehensive response.

In a blog post, Windows director Terry Myerson acknowledged that Windows 10 collects personal information about its customers to allow some of its best features, including virtual assistant Cortana. It also includes information about the performance of your computer to detect and correct errors.

    But he said to Windows 10 users can control the information shared with Microsoft.

"We learn how to explain all this to customers," said Myerson CNN Money in an exclusive interview. "Our privacy are well ... Now we have to keep listening and learning."
Microsoft: We need info to make Windows 10 run better

 In an attempt to regain the trust of customers, Microsoft has provided examples of this kind of information from Windows 10 refers to Microsoft servers. He also explained why this information is used.

Microsoft said it contains some of what is written so that it can offer personalized self-correction. And share access to their Wi-Fi network (if you click a button) to help automatically connect to your friends in your network (or theirs).

   Microsoft (MSFT, tech30) also explained how they turn off - and how to avoid becoming the first to set up your computer.

CNNMoney Myerson confirmed, however, that consumers can not quench data exchange Windows 10. Who sends anonymous information about your PC meets Windows 10 "safety and reliability". Microsoft need this information to solve problems with Windows 10, he said.
"We are not reading your emails"

 Much of the anxiety about privacy Windows 10 started because the new operating system uses many more cloud services than previous versions of Windows. Taking the data on their servers, Microsoft needs more permissions than in the past.

But privacy is inherently confusing. The privacy statement, Microsoft says Windows 10 needs access to his emails so you can deliver - but Myerson denied that anyone at Microsoft has the ability to read their e-mails.

 "We are not reading their email, but do not have custody of his email," he said. "How do these two things are distilled?"

The company says that customers hear what they say. A change will occur soon in Windows 10 is an adjustment with teenagers in mind, rather than a single parameter for toddlers integrated family privacy.

 Privacy concerns are not stopping people from moving to Windows 10, mind you. Windows 10 has been downloaded 75 million times in its first month, which is updating fast pace in the history of Windows. Myerson said customers are mostly satisfied with their experiences of Windows 10.

Recognizing that the conversation private life is not over, Myerson wrote that he and his team "we hope that the next round of questions and comments on these new positions."

"Trust is an essential pillar of our" More Personal Computing vision, and we know we have to win, "says Myerson." I assure you that no other company is more committed, more transparent and more difficult to listen to customers on this important issue we are. "

Apple’s iPad Pro proves

Apple’s iPad Pro proves Microsoft was always right about the Surface

Apple released a slew of new devices. But the announcement was not the most impressive new iPhone, Apple TV or redesigned luxury new Montre Hermès.

The surface was a version of Microsoft - or at least something much like him. Of course, I speak of the iPad Pro, which Apple claims to have the power of desktop-class team and you can buy a keyboard cover - * sigh * - a stylus (which Apple calls a pencil).

 Rather than being a giant tablet with steroids, iPad Pro is a watershed device to Apple for the first time, the company is deliberately blurred the line between their tablets and laptops.

So far, iPads were largely in the consumption of media and testing occasionally on the road, when you turned a MacBook for whatever you want to consider "serious" work. For the average user, which actually was never an issue in which they have to buy.

Things are different now. By showing the processing power and officially throw their weight behind focused on productivity accessories, Apple suggests a vision of the not very dissimilar computers Microsoft tablet that can replace our laptops.

This does not mean that the traditional laptop going away anytime soon - I doubt even Microsoft wants - but the iPad Pro displays a form factor of the surface, as has a real place in the market today.

IPad Pro is supposed to be thin enough to take almost anywhere light, but powerful enough to do most of what you can on a laptop. This is precisely the versatility of the Surface and Windows 10 are intended to enable. Apple could have chosen its mobile operating system foundation, rather than the office, but the ultimate goal is the same.

Of course, the iPad Pro can not do everything the Microsoft Surface or a good laptop can now. IOS still runs, so it lacks the myriad applications of Windows 10 OS X and industry standards.

But that point; this is what the tablet can do, not the operating system is running. Pro IPad applications may not be the same as you get in a laptop, but Apple makes sure you know that the new tablet could do the same kind of thing, only with a different interface:

•     Most ad Pro is dedicated to productivity, image manipulation and video editing, no games, movies and reading. Apple Microsoft even brought himself on stage demonstration table.
•     Performance figures are compared with laptops and desktop computers, not other tablets.
•     If Apple specifies touch was the main way to interact with the iPad, stylus and keyboard are displayed outside suggest precision and accuracy similar to a computer.
•     iOS 9 introduces new features that you would expect from a desktop computer, such as multi-window multitasking support, and other improvements. These characteristics apply to the Air and the iPad, but Apple clearly had the Pro into account in designing them.
•     When the last time you even considered 4K edited three videos at the same time? Who cares - Apple has made sure he knew the iPad Pro, you can.

That said, the transition was probably inevitable. Tablet shipments have declined significantly in the last two years, so that Apple was forced to make an iPad more useful - especially now that the phones are large enough to be mini-tablets in their own right.

Microsoft has noticed this trend before anyone; simply stumble trying to get ahead of the game. IPad and iOS Pro 9 are merely the surface and Windows RT could have been if Microsoft had obtained this right.

Of course, if the iPad Pro really boost sales of the tablet it remains to be seen, but it's hard to imagine that cannibalize MacBook sales. If not immediately, then certainly one or two generations.

Federal appeals court set

Federal appeals court set to hear Microsoft 'cloud' case:

 

NEW YORK (AP) - Microsoft Corp. to create a second chance to prove you have the right to retain the data stored abroad in the hands of US researchers when their lawyers who appear before a federal appeals court Wednesday, but the software giant already cover their paris, called on Congress to clarify the law.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals will hear Microsoft to challenge a decision in July 2014 a lower court holding that a court or law enforcement agencies in the United States has the power to order a person or entity to production materials, even if information is received abroad.

The company, based in Washington, Redmond, I hope the appeals court will overturn the decision that confirms the right of the government of the United States in search of an email account of consumers as Microsoft stores in Dublin, Ireland. The government wants to find the account as part of a narcotics investigation.

An information order was issued in December 2013, saying there was probable cause to believe that the account was opened in 2010 in a property was used for drug trafficking. Microsoft introduced customer's address book, which is stored in the United States.

In court documents, which Microsoft called on Congress to "address the issue of whether, and when, the police should be able to oblige providers like Microsoft to help customers take advantage of emails stored in foreign countries."

"Only Congress has the institutional competence and constitutional authority to balance the needs of law enforcement against the sovereignty of our nation, the privacy of our citizens and the competitiveness of its industry," he said.

But federal prosecutors in Manhattan said in court papers that "the interests of powerful government" replace the potential negative impact on Microsoft's business or any business looking to enjoy the storage in abroad.

"The fact is that there is probable cause to believe that evidence of a violation of the criminal laws of the United States, affecting residents of the United States and the participation of US interests, is present in the records under Microsoft controlling "they write. "With the benefits of corporate citizenship in the United States are related responsibilities, including the responsibility to comply with a disclosure order issued by a US court. Microsoft should not be allowed to complain that this could affect their bottom line. "

Prosecutors said Microsoft still controls the data based abroad and employees of the United States can recover. They said Microsoft's customers have rights under the terms of service of the company to demand that data be stored to any particular data center.

In filing the appeal, the Irish Government said the Irish Supreme Court ruled that the Irish courts have the power to order the production of documents by an Irish company registered by one of its branches in a foreign country. He said that the Irish tax authorities may also require Irish banks to produce records of accounts held by customers, where the information is located.

"Ireland continues to facilitate cooperation with other states, including the US, in the fight against crime and would be happy to consider as soon as possible, a request under the Treaty, should be a given," he said.

In another presentation of Appeal, and 29 new major US and foreign commercial organizations have asked the court to overturn the lower court, telling reporters and editors around the world rely on email services and cloud storage provided by Microsoft and others to collect, store and review documents protected by the First Amendment.

"Even if the subscriber is no longer a journalist - although we do not know for sure - maybe next subscriber," said the court papers.
