What Microsoft has in it is keeping their hold (stranglehold?) on the desktop market. When people realize there are solid alternatives to MS's browser, they'll wonder if that's applicable to their OS as well. I'm not here to pick sides, but OSX is about as usable as Vista for casual use, and some Linuces aren't that far behind.
Wow, it feels like I'm on 4chan. Do you really think Google cares enough to go through your email or Chrome usage details? At most, they'll sell your contact info to junk mail companies (which they won't, because they'd catch hell for doing so).
And my Facebook photos? It's not like they're going to use that photo I uploaded last week of me giving the Batwing to those three girls down the hall. I think I can live being used as stock footage.
And if you still HAVE to have your privacy, that's cool too. Use a different browser, a different FREE email provider, and a different social networking site. I'm already tired of all of this FUD being created by people who think Big Globocorp is going to care that much about them. Chrome hasn't been out for much longer than 30 hours, and this EULA/TOS crap has already made it to the front page of Slashdot? Next time, try READING the legalese, like they ask you to. If you can't handle agreeing to them, DON'T CLICK AGREE.

Sheesh. I can't even write a two-page essay about myself without running out of things to say.
