In short - NSA has full access to user data in Skype, Outlook and Skydrive and other Microsoft services. And tracking user's actions on the internet has been now much easier than ever, thanks to Microsoft's service ecosystem and integration. What happened with the Scroogled campaign, and their slogan "Your privacy is our priority."?
Well, does anyone remember a post a made a while ago:
Wait, wait, if Chrome's ecosystem is wrong ( Chrome is just a browser, remember ), what can we say about Microsoft's new much wider ( and, following the same logic - much more dangerous and creepy ) ecosystem - one Microsoft Account sign-in ( formely Live ID ) for PC, Skype, Skydrive, Outlook, Phone, Xbox, ..., SmartGlass and so on???
MICROSOFT! YOU ARE RETARDED!
Well, it seems I was right once again - Microsoft is just retarded! They have absolutely no right to blame others for sharing user data, when they're the one to do their best in sharing as much data as they can!
