Well to be fair, Microsoft has been in the scumbag game a lot longer than Google. They're professional about screwing you over. Google is a bit more blatant about the whole, we control you and don't care what you think, thing.

It's kinda like saying I trust Lex Luthor far more than Harvey Dent.

I can respect that. I'd rather get mugged by a classy gangster with standards than... whatever Google is in this metaphor. Your middle school friend who got rich and turned into an asshole?

If microsoft is a classy gangster wearing feather hats casually extorting you in the broad of day but in a really charming way, Google is the deranged junkie in the back alley waiting to come at you screaming with a knife demanding your ~~xanax pills~~ private information

That's like choosing the mafia over the cartels.

I mean - I get it, but.
