Well why would they be. They're in competition with MS. Reason I want nothing to do with them is, the government is spying on innocent american civilians as it is, without me going out and grabbing an MS product made in the past couple of years. They are "back-dooring" all of their products now, especially anything with windows 8, so that our government can log right in on the back-end without you having the slightest clue they're there. Watching every single thing you do.
