Review: There is no point of comparison between Google and MS at all. Both companies are of different domain. What does Google have apart from its Search engine? MS is mainly a product base company and it is the top notch in its field. Other comapnies can only dream to be like MS. And the plus point with MS is that it is now developing for web also, Google is not far on web also.

Review: I'm a techie. And if I'm told to believe that all security holes are in Windows (and Microsoft products only), and Linux is super secure, then I'd say the Linux guy hasn't explored Linux enough. It's just that story of "max bang for the buck" for a hacker that Microsoft products get hacked. Today, Microsoft realizes that the security holes have been identified and it's fixing those. On the other side, we have a competitor (Linux/open source/Google etc) that live in the illusion that they cannot be hacked. Just let enough people start using Google servers/Google client tools. Google/Linux is actually causing harm to itself with this idea and people are helping Microsoft improve. Now customers, go choose!

Review: Passport can be used in a lightweight manner, as easy as an e-mail/pass. That said, it can provide a ton of convenience, which will pay off in the end. I'm always surprised to see how many people just want to see Microsoft fail or think that security issues are related to Microsoft and aren't an industrywide problem. If anyone cared about Mac or Linux, they would have a load of viruses as well. That isn't to say I think everything Microsoft does is great, but haven't you noticed how much better their products are getting and how much more in tune they are with us, the customer? I have.

Review: Hey Steve, when I log into Gmail, I have to provide a username and password. To get these, I had to go through a process of registering my details and preferences with Google. When I log into Windows Live, I provide a username and password. To get these, I had to register my details and preferences with Microsoft Passport. Um, what's the difference? In fact, at least with Passport, I can re-use these same credentials on all Microsoft sites. Alternatively, if I wanted to have different IDs for each site, I could do that, too. So, what's the big deal with Passport?

Review: Oh yeah! With yet another security flaw in IE, Microsoft believes we are all hungry to bring in more grief to our offices and homes? After 25 years, and billions and billions in revenue, with fabulous profits, this perpetual mine of techno grief should be tried for mass racketeering and fraud. Ooops, Microsoft has a get outta jail card - when you start up for the first time, you must accept that 'This Software is a major threat to you and all who use it.' Hurry up Linex! Come on, Apple! Hey Google guys and gals, rescue us from the Axis of evil - Op System, Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.

Review: You need MS Passport account to try Windows Live service, why? To try Google, Yahoo, Pageflakes or any other Ajax service, you only need your e-mail. Bill & Co. they still don't get it. Microsoft is done. millions of consumers? Keeping up with Google? Good luck?
