I'd rather pay a trivial amount of money for their service than be forced into a global information gathering scheme whose sole point (currently) is effective advertising. It's frustrating that they've gobbled up some of the best programmers in the world to make some of the best software in the world-- And then enforced the rule that you can't use their software without being spyed on. Why not let us pay for software? Call it what you want, I call it evil.
