I have been using Google for a long time now and my
experience with Google is that they are not attempting to
collect what can be termed personal/privacy information.
Such as "who you are." "where you reside" etc. Google's
real interest are your preferences as in "what are you
interested in". In other words when you open up your
browser it can be customized in a way that you find
agreeable/enjoyable. The collecting of that information
does bug some people, personally I don't care as long as
they don't know my identity.

Now MS on the other hand was collecting information that
could identify "who you are" such as hardware serial
numbers, software license codes, IP numbers etc. etc.
