    Windows 10 Privacy Statement

    It's the tech preview privacy statement, not Windows 10 privacy statement. When Windows 10 is released and if it's privacy policy is the same then we can bitch and worry.

    Windows 7 Pro Original with 2 GB Ram. Huge memory issues !!

    Could be windows update taking up a lot of ram. Show PID/command line column in task manager, then match it to the PID of windows update from services tab or the svchost with "netsvcs" in the command line. When windows update checks for updates the process can take up a lot of ram.

    Cable Internet (Is a local area network really private)

    How to get more than one audio out put to play at the same time?

    XBMC could be a solution for some streams. I know there is a youtube plugin and you can select which audio device to use. Though I don't know how well it will play with games using fullscreen. You may have to use fullscreen windowed/windowed mode.
