Was this really by Microsoft? It looks unprofessional and scammy, like if someone wanted to make Microsoft look.bad.
Granted, from past MS behavior it would not be a surprise if this was really their work...

No different to google running ads for chrome saying "it's faster"... it IS, and some people care about that.
Saying that IE is "slower" is another.
Likewise Microsoft could have made a ad that showed how they protect your privacy, instead of pointing how their biggest competitor don't.
It's quite a different issue if it's just a computer program parsing your data. After all, SMTP programs go through your your email too.
I'm all for people caring more about their privacy and be more educated about giving their personal infos online, but the solution to that is PGP, not Outlook.
