Ok, Ms. Conspiracy Theory... :-))

It was interesting reading, but I've got to say that their opinions of the interface itself and how the product works are just too trivial to bother about. The ease of use and other advantages far outweigh any shortcomings. As far as the privacy issues are concerned... It doesn't really bother me. I also have no problem helping millionaires become billionaires. Power to them. I wish it were me! :-) I'm not a very paranoid person in general so I really don't believe that Google is working for the dark side. If I cared about that I would probably never buy another MS product. <g>

I know you were just presenting the other side, but I really do like the product and if you are willing to be assimilated it really is a great product.
