I'm planning on a getting a null modem and connecting a Windows 10 box to it, and also do some kind of TCPDUMP on the wire. I'm hoping this will be easy to do.

I'm planning on a getting a null modem and connecting a Windows 10 box to it, and also do some kind of TCPDUMP on the wire. I'm hoping this will be easy to do. I've actually read the privacy policy that is linked from the Windows 8.1 operating system. It's pretty frighting what they collect. They're browser is basically spyware with the things it collects. What I want to know is this: If I use Chrome, or Firefox, are they still somehow collecting my browsing data? I know that IE is actually built into the Windows operating system.
