I don't think I would use a Google OS, not immediately at least. Google's privacy practices are very bad. I don't know if this will be the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if a Google OS constantly sends information about what I'm doing on the computer to Google, for targeted ads or whatever.

What you're saying is pretty much what every single major website does. Amazon for example takes information of what products you have visited, and then recommends you products based on that.

Also, there's no company as "evil" as Microsft, which absolutely abuses their monopoly status and illegaly makes pressure on the retailers just to stab rival companies. On a 1 to 10 scale of "evilness", Google is a 4/10, while Microsoft is a 10/10.

What does this have to do with websites? I'm talking about potentially everything you do with your computer. I also said so clearly in my post, so I don't know why I have to repeat it.

Regarding evil companies... yeah Microsoft is evil, but privacy-wise they're better than Google. Most of Microsoft's evil actions have little to no effect on me, certainly not in a privacy-invading way.

 

What is this Google "privacy abuse" you peak of? I have no idea what you mean then.
