Was this really by Microsoft? It looks unprofessional and scammy, like if someone wanted to make Microsoft look.bad.
Granted, from past MS behavior it would not be a surprise if this was really their work...

- RyanZAG 14y agoThis is definitely by Microsoft. The site uses the following nameservers, which are under Microsoft control and cannot be forged. ns3.msft.net ns4.msft.net ns1.msft.net ns2.msft.net ns5.msft.net Pathetic stuff.
- Volpe 14y agoBut google DO go through every message to sell ads. How is this pathetic? Some people don't like the fact that their emails are used in that way, so focusing on that is just marketing. No different to google running ads for chrome saying "it's faster"... it IS, and some people care about that.
- speeder 14y agoSaying that chrome is "faster" is one thing. Saying that IE is "slower" is another. Likewise Microsoft could have made a ad that showed how they protect your privacy, instead of pointing how their biggest competitor don't.
- simias 14y agoI feel like MS is trying to mislead people into believing that GMail employees go through your mail (they superpose inquisitive human eyes over the gmail video for instance). It's quite a different issue if it's just a computer program parsing your data. After all, SMTP programs go through your your email too. I'm all for people caring more about their privacy and be more educated about giving their personal infos online, but the solution to that is PGP, not Outlook.

- nextparadigms 14y agoMicrosoft makes Microsoft look bad, unfortunately for them. But it seems to be in their company's DNA to spread FUD about others. It's like crack to them.
