schestowitzThe more disturbing issue is the one of wiretapped desktops that Google revealed. Google was in a unique position to catch Microsoft doing this. If the company is spying on your search strings, they are probably helping themselves to other things without asking.Nov 07 07:29

MinceRwhy move to europe?Nov 07 19:00
qu1j0t3i would prefer it. but only certain locationsNov 07 19:00
qu1j0t3when i was younger and not married, the possible locations would be much broaderNov 07 19:01
qu1j0t3but i didn't have the opportunity then to relocateNov 07 19:01
MinceRwhich locations?Nov 07 19:01
qu1j0t3currently ... Switzerland, Spain, Portugal ... and i'd consider some othersNov 07 19:02
qu1j0t3being married narrows it down a lotNov 07 19:02
MinceRhow so?Nov 07 19:03
qu1j0t3wife prefers warmer climate and she knows certain languagesNov 07 19:03
