I've not seen anything where Microsoft collects personally identifiable data. They may collect some things, but it gets aggregated. This is unlike Google. They scan your personal email for keywords to send you advertising, track you across all Google sites and even lots of non-Google sites through their DoubleClick advertising subsidiary, and keep all this tied to you.


>Thank you for your input. As I said, I respect your opinion. Maybe I will change my mind. One thing I like from your list is not having to have an anti-virus since I am not comfortable with Avast; too intrusive. But I hear that MS could be just as intrusive into personal data.
