I can definitely see the reasoning. I suppose I'm still debating whether it's good to have all my personal information with only one company or spread around a bit more.
If I was going to plump for one company, Microsoft might not be the worst choice simply because their business model doesn't revolve around monetizing my personal information.

- thekyle 6y agoI know right. I don't get it. I would expect a company like Microsoft that makes most of their money selling to businesses would take privacy and security more seriously.

- _emacsomancer_ 6y agoI don't know why you would assume that Microsoft uses their ill-gotten user information to make their UX better and Google to make theirs worse. Is it just because Microsoft's products' UX cannot be made any worse?
- methodsignature 6y agomy understanding is that most of the web reports back to Google anyways:(
- input_sh 6y agoI mean, sure, but there's plenty of add-ons and filter lists that would make the web stop doing that.
