Major Published Article on Microsoft vs. Google Privacy Issues
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000728.html
Greetings. Fairly recently, I was interviewed for an article to
appear in "Redmond" magazine ( http://bit.ly/dskRaA ) ("The
Independent Voice of the Microsoft IT Community"). The topic of the
article was presented to me essentially as "Who has bigger and scarier
privacy problems, Microsoft or Google?" Obviously, given the stated
orientation of the publication, I couldn't help but anticipate that
the finished piece might tend to skew toward the Microsoft-friendly
side of the issues.
The resulting lengthy article, "What Does Microsoft Know About You?"
( http://bit.ly/ahmHOi ) has just appeared, and despite what I would
characterize as an obvious and significant anti-Google bias in the
overall piece, the article is still an interesting and worthwhile
read, even if only to illustrate how these sometimes emotional issues
are being played out in such publications and among such affinity
groups.
But that's just my opinion. What's your take?
