There is not a doubt in my mind that Asa Dotzler just had his entire holiday season paid for by Microsoft. In regards to privacy - Google is going to continue doing a great job of aggregating all of our information and there's nothing that's going to stop them... Oh and Microsoft - going to run into a cash flow problem in about another ~10 years - the Gates/XP era bank account won't continue to support this blitzkrieg of commercial endorsements for technology that is under performing and can be replaced by something that's free...
