Microsoft's motto is "Don't be so evil that the government can successfully break you into pieces". Google's motto is "don't be evil". We expect vile bullcrap from Microsoft.
If you read the article, it's talking about how Microsoft changed it's privacy policies to match those of Google (who where met with uproar at their introduction) after publicly calling out Google on it's lack of value of privacy.
Right. My claim is: "Google does something evil" is news, "Microsoft does something evil" is not news.
