>I'm not saying MS is perfect. I understand that email can be read by anyone, but I do expect the company providing my email services to not read it. Google consistent gives a middle finger to the public and governments. Google's latest privacy changes do nothing to protect privacy and everything to try to push their advertising.

I agree. Google's entire revenue framework is based on tracking everything they possibly can so they can sell advertising.

Free sounds nice, but it's free with strings.

>>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.
