Well I would mention that Windows 10 is available for free and is quite easy to install and run VM as an Enterprise version is available as well, BUT,  it would seem that because these are preview versions that there is an outside chance that Microsoft has a key logger included...............

Outside chance?  I think it's well documented that they are recording EVERYTHING.  I wouldn't use IE10 outside of a brief look in a VM.

Well documented? Do you have a cited source for that statement. It's well documented that MS have an opt out for the customer experience on all of their products.
They are one of the safest companies to use in regards to your privacy if you are comparing them to Apple and Google.

I don't trust any big company...

ah yeah, you are talking about the tech preview specifically? yes, it is a tech preview, Microsoft pay a lot of attention to their beta programs these days which is why their products as so much more stable when they are released. It's all good info that just helps them deliver a better product to you.
It's not a good idea to run a tech preview for your every day work anyway and the final version will not do this as they are not actively trying to find bugs and develop the final product.

anyway.. you always have the choice right?

You know what, I just realized I said IE 10 when I meant Windows 10. 

That's all Win 10 is right now, a developer preview.
