> In reality, if you're using a machine that's owned by your employer, you should always assume that everything you do is being monitored at all times, regardless of what operating system said machine is running, because chances are in favor of that being the case. Expect at the absolute least some sort of web traffic monitoring (probably via a corporate proxy); in some cases, I've seen companies install keyloggers (and, in fact, this is the "legitimate" use case for keyloggers, remote administration tools, etc.).
It is one thing for a company to do so. I really really doubt that companies are OK with microsoft having a copy of all activity from all their employee's workstations.
- yellowapple 11y agoRight. But from the context of the employee, it's a distinction without a difference. By using a company computer, the chances of your activities being keylogged and tracked with absurd amounts of granularity go up significantly. If you're not the owner of the hardware (and, hell, sometimes even when you are), all bets are off. Of course from a company's perspective will the distinction actually be meaningful, but that didn't seem to be what the parent comment was going for.
