Microsoft sells ads, too. They're integrating them into Windows. Microsoft sells everything that Google sells and more.

If Microsoft could have grown Bing as big as Google by doing everything Google did that you distrust, they absolutely would have done so. They would have done it with Windows Phone, too. And they still will, if they can, eventually.

I'm not here to start an argument, just to suggest you re-examine your loyalties if you think Microsoft isn't going to screw you if it makes them $5.

I don't want to start the argument either and you are also right. They would do exactly as Google has they been in the same situation.

Like so many here, I also wonder, why they don't become more like Apple in terms of privacy.Google would have no answer if Microsoft was a privacy-first company.
