That is just unacceptable!
Microsoft should be told it must be removed.  Period!  Talk about invasion of privacy!

Very scary. And the keylogging has been extended to Windows 7 and 8.  http://www.techtimes.com/articles/80373/20150830/windows-10-privacy-issues-extend-to-windows-8-1-7-how-to-stop-microsoft-from-collecting-more-of-your-data.htm (http://www.techtimes.com/articles/80373/20150830/windows-10-privacy-issues-extend-to-windows-8-1-7-how-to-stop-microsoft-from-collecting-more-of-your-data.htm)  There go your banking passwords, confidential business documents, etc.

I had trouble finding the KBs mentioned above but this page http://serverfault.com/questions/263847/how-can-i-query-my-system-via-command-line-to-see-if-a-kb-patch-is-installed (http://serverfault.com/questions/263847/how-can-i-query-my-system-via-command-line-to-see-if-a-kb-patch-is-installed) gives a couple of ways to find the KBs.  Removing them, or not, is up to you.
