Nadeem Kobeysi known as the independent developer, is seriously worried about the inclusion of Windows 8 module SmartScreen, who always "follows" the actions of the user and stores them in its profile as a doctor in the patient card. So Microsoft can control the use of programs that have been "broken". The full name of this module - Windows SmartScreen. If you start the installation program will be sending data to the application, if there is no certificate, the operating system will ask you not to install. In addition, the "cunning" module can map your IP-address and the software you are installing.
All would be well, but that's only Windows 8 will not ask you if you want to send data, they go directly to the server Microsoft. Still, it is a serious breach of confidentiality, the more the developer works directly with the authorities. The current filter is also introduced in order to allow more applications to buy a special shop, like the App Store for Mac OS. We must not forget another important point. SmartScreen Filter is intended for programs installed from the file manually. In Windows 8, as well as the latest versions of OS X, and Chrome OS and Google's Android has an app store through which to install all the programs that support the new "tile" interface, formerly known as the Metro. For information about these applications, downloaded and installed by the user, and will inevitably be stored, and processed by Microsoft, and, in fact, tied to a specific account.
