I can't praise Google enough for the benefits they brought up with their services. I understand that MS is playing a catchup game; this is fine. And I don't trust MS any more than any other big company that might get my information.
>I've never found anything that I can't find on Bing that I could find on Google. WolframAlpha is another option. That's what Apple uses for Siri searches.

>>I will be careful with my gmail email (I don't my girl friends' messages end up in some other guy's email <g>).

I was thinking of creating an account in Youtube; just so that I can save my favorite videos.
