I don't like Microsoft's new direction.

I remember when data security and privacy meant something. Are people forgetting the lessons of the past? Is everyone jumping on the trust-the-big-guys wagon? Privacy and security are PARAMOUNT!

There is too much temptation for MS to abuse this power (knowledge is power) to embed "preferences" into the delivery model, limiting and "tailoring" an experience that I've enjoyed using anonymously.

I don't want advertisers or websites to know who I am. I check out the competition too much for that. Can't I put on a desguise and walk into a store to investigate my competition? Why shouldn't I be able to do the same online?

I have stopped using Microsoft and moved to a wholly Linux environment, just because I don't want my businesses workers "tastes" recorded for use by advertisers. We will remain anonymous. (except when voicing opinions, such as this.)
