Some children's privacy advocates are a little worried that
Microsoft's efforts are more focused on pushing Google out of
the education
space rather than the privacy of children.
You think ?
I
wonder what Microsoft would gain from that.---

M$ is quick to point out that they don't serve ads.
But nowhere do they specifically address the very thing they are accusing Google
of: collecting data in the first place.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I've learned that's usually a sign to take a look at the activities of the
"squeeky wheel".
That raises the interesting question:
Given MS'
insinuations at what Google is doing (without any evidence to prove those
insinuations)...
Perhaps someone should take a real close look at what
MS is doing with the equivalent data! For example, the data Bing might be
collecting.
It would be a hoot if MS' bill got worded generically so it
doesn't specifically target Google and the end result is that Google keeps on
going while MS ends up breaking the terms of the bill and being blocked out of
the Education market.

Microsoft pulled the plug on the [scroogled] campaign saying that
the catchphrase will stick around, but the ads will die off.
I
certainly will remember it: As another horrendous effort of Microsoft similar to
their "Get the Facts" campaign. Every time I hear it I think:
Wow... that's
like Ebenezer accusing someone else of not having the Christmas
Spirit

What they fear, is Google Chrome OS - that is, so much
easier to admin vs the stuff "they" make complicated just to
sell more licenses for their product(s) in the network area
(all of which are only for customer lock-in by design).
They could do it simpler, but..., more complicated, means
more income for them.
Remember, a certain company in NW US often executes more
than one tactic, behind the scenes, they are playing 3D
chess.
Like, not putting the choice of browsers on EU systems (any
guess that they knew about what the fine would be, measured
income, increased browser traffic (including a certain home
grown search engine, installed in the browser, as the
default search), and figured a fine would be worth paying?
