Not wanting to add to the FUD regarding Windows, Microsoft is great at doing that themselves, here's more info about the so-called keylogger in the preview copy:
Microsoft tells you in the privacy policy that it is collecting keystrokes. There is a whole section called "Data we collect," and it clearly states:

[when you] enter text, we may collect typed characters and use them for purposes such as improving autocomplete and spellcheck features.
It also states that Microsoft is collecting information about you, your devices, applications and networks, and your use of those devices, applications and networks.
"Examples of data we collect include your name, email address, preferences and interests; browsing, search and file history; phone call and SMS data; device configuration and sensor data; and application usage."
If you're worried then avoid the preview copy which MS says should not be installed on a operational computer.
