This is the same Microsoft that ran ads against Google based on the claim that unlike Google's ad algorithms, they don't look at your email, then turned around and looked at a user's email when they found out that a Microsoft employee sent confidential information to that account.

It's also the same Microsoft that was found to have provided the greatest aid to the NSA in accommodating their mass wiretap requests (compared to Yahoo, Google, and other webmail providers).
The irony is delicious.
To put it very mildly, I question Microsoft's integrity and wouldn't trust them with my data. Want to showcase a hero who actually went to great lengths to fight the feds over your email? Try Ladar Levison.
