Comments on: Google accuse US Government of Microsoft favoritism http://www.slashgear.com/google-accuse-us-government-of-microsoft-favoritism-09118497/ Feeding Your Gadget and Tech Obsessions Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:58:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: UnderDoc http://www.slashgear.com/google-accuse-us-government-of-microsoft-favoritism-09118497/#comment-79411 UnderDoc Sun, 12 Dec 2010 20:40:01 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=118497#comment-79411 Look at all the shills ganging up. Anyone care to explain where exactly Google services have failed you?

“Google has bad reputation of infringement in terms of personal data collections” — Cathy
“Microsoft offers better services.” — Damon
“Everything what Google does is just hobby, except search.” — Serg
“Google makes toys that just should not be used in a professional evironment.” — VedX

As you see above, there’s nothing of any substance, only “testimonials” that any paid shill can easily come up with.

I have no investments in either Google or Microsoft so I am willing to let myself be convinced; however, I need real arguments and not void claims such as the ones above.

Google is great for free home based email but it’s just not stable enough for corporate use and there is no decent support. I had all kinds of gripes against MS because of little bugs and quirks and just because I wanted to be part of the hype, but Google made me understand. Google makes toys that just should not be used in a professional evironment. Any idiot that has any experience would know this and the fact Google is complaining the US government is not using their half-baked services to send sensitive materials shows how deluded they are.

Everything what Google does is just hobby, except search.

My company participated with over 20 cloud companies in a symposium in Washington where this was announced. Yet, like many of the promises of the Obama Administration, here we are 18 months later with everything “business as usual” – and the bulk of the participants at the symposium not having received any government business, with it going instead to their traditional suppliers.

The CEO of google isn’t a cry baby; he’s speaking the truth.

In Europe lots of cases are going against Google.
