Again, a lot of mistakes that Google does get swept under the rug, because they're Google. Meanwhile, any mistake that Microsoft does gets put in the spotlight.
You fail to offer any standing reason why you should trust Google more than Microsoft.
At the very least, Microsoft's Live Hotmail doesn't scan your email like Gmail does. Google's policy on privacy is questionable at best. The minute Microsoft starts scanning my email to target me with ads, I'll quit defending them.
Microsoft's security division dwarfs that of Google's. In the past year, was Live Hotmail any less secure than Gmail?
Microsoft has its faults too, but so does every company, including Google. It's cool to bag on Microsoft, but at the end of the day, it's no different than other large companies, such as Citibank or GE.

Um, you were saying?
Gmail loses attachments
Gmail loses all mail
Censorship by Google

Google is wayyyy behind Microsoft.
Microsoft's HealthVault came out several months ago, and has more partnerships than Google.
