The only google service i use anymore is YouTube.
You're welcome to your opinion I guess, regardless of how misguided they might be. I can't think of anyone I know with any kind of regard for technology who still uses Outlook/Hotmail. Synching devises is always easy when you keep it within the same eco-system (I'm assuming you're using some kind of Windows phone).
The statement about MS caring about your privacy is laughable. None of the big tech firms have a good record in that area.
Tell me more about the Bing rewards program though.
Hotmail doesnt really exist anymore. (at least as a domain) Outlook.com is a much more user friendly experience (IMHO) then Gmail, Ymail, or any other web based client i've used. Especially if you host an exchange server, it literally is Outlook, in web form. at least M$ does things like by default when using IE sends DO NOT TRACK requests, and attempts to give the illusion that they care. Google blatantly says, were taking your info and selling it, and is now basically a military contractor so there's that. I realize they both dont care, but google really turns me off.
Bing rewards is pretty simple. Sign up and as you search you get reward points, you can use thoes to redeem gift cards. It takes a while to build up the points, but your searching anyway might as well get something out of it if you can. Here's a referral link if you haven't signed up and want to.

As far as the Google vs Bing debate i really dont see a difference. I use Bing as my default, if for some reason i think I'm getting bad results ill go to Google but 99% of the time you get the same first page of results.
If you are using an Apple device that has Siri on it, you are using bing. You are correct in assuming i use a Windows Phone.
I'm assuming you subscribe to the Google side of things? Does anyone here use exclusively Apple products/services?
