McDave Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I would not say neither evil. But I trust Microsoft more since not everything they offer is free.

BoJo Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Well, Microsoft's evilness will have some fatal BSOD-flaw, but Google's evilness will stay in Beta for years. Overall, Google.

C_Guy Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 It's ironic that Google's motto is "Do no evil" when that seems to be what they excel at.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted February 25, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 25, 2009 "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." That's why I wouldn't call Microsoft evil any more (Bill Gates knew how to be evil, Steve Ballmer knows how to act like a monkey), I don't think they're competent enough any more to pull off evil. I wouldn't call Google evil because they haven't done anything I would call evil.

Zickar Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I love Google, Sure it has a lot of information about me but so far it never used that outside of the context it says it uses it for : ADVERTISING .... I think the fact that its software and services are open source and free is what makes me dispatch the idea of evilness of Google Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/739468-which-is-more-evil-microsoft-or-google/#findComment-590628412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted February 25, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted February 25, 2009 MS, Google and others are trying to use the NET for everything. The Next Office release is to be Net related.

Guest GraphiteCube Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Google just try to track down EVERYTHING in your WHOLE LIFE and monopolize your WHOLE LIFE. Microsoft isn't very good, but they still let you choose.

+seb5150 Subscriber² Posted February 25, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted February 25, 2009 Google without a doubt. Any company that collects that much personal information about you (search, mail, surfing, etc) but promises not to ever use it for evil is obviously evil. Why else would you collect and keep that volume of data?

-Clark- Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 "null" vote for me. Neither are "evil" If running a business to be the "best" and be sucessful is evil, than you can apply that to all corporations. But I don't see any problem with them. If you want evil, look at all the banks/corps that are getting bailouts and asking for more. Pretty sure Bill wouldn't have asked for a bailout to take himself on vacation...
