Can we trust Microsoft anymore?

Do I trust Microsoft? Heck no! I trust big businesses only slightly more than I trust the government, which isn't much.

If I was to not support any company that I didn't trust I wouldn't have anything though. But as it stands, if any of those companies have products that I like, I'll get them because let's be perfectly honest about this. There's no such thing as privacy in this day and age (which really sucks, but it's true). All my phone calls are recorded, all of my web activity is logged, all of my texts are saved, and pretty much anything electronically done, the government knows about. So that leaves me with two choices, cut myself off from the world completely and live in a cave in the middle of nowhere, or keep my life as it is now. I personally have tons of fun gaming, going on my phone, and surfing the web so I don't plan to stop any of those.

People need to understand that it really isn't just Microsoft who does it. You know that nice android phone that the majority of you have? Well you better sell it and not have a phone. You know that nice computer that you're using to post? Well you better do the same to that as well. I'm not saying that the government mining your privacy is right, because it isn't. But what can we honestly do about it (besides what we're currently doing about it, which is complaining)?

You can try just boycotting one company...but that won't do jack.
