Criminals could use stolen/conterfeit license plates to avoid being tracked or to pose as or frame someone else. Honest people will be tracked. So in effect only honest people and lazy, petty or stupid criminals will be tracked. I realize this is most criminals, but not all.
Well, not that I'm also not annoyed by every privacy infringement being compare to 1984, but this is a lot like "Big Brother." Did you forget that "they" always know where Winston went to? They knew where he was when he was wandering around amongst the Proles. They knew where he was whenever he ran off with Julia. Tracking the movements of members of the middle class was an important element of the story. Only the Proles were somewhat ignored.
You've, obviously, never really used one or both of them much. I work for a company of 15,000 employees that has used Notes/Domino for years. Many of the employees, including myself, came from other companies that used Outlook/Exchange extensively. Our company finally switched to Outlook/Exchange and gues what: not only is it much easier and quicker to do email, but we have much fewer server-side problems. Note's UI doesn't just suck, it's hell. You can't find any settings or less-commonly used features, even if you've found them ten times before. And then it just crawls or locks up on you for no apparent reason. It's nice to be able to figure out where things are again. Even thought Microsoft isn't the best at making things obvious, at least you can find things in a few minutes and they are mostly intuitive.
