Google may have an agenda and get quite a few things needlessly wrong,
like an unusable Android calendar without a net connection or unusable
google groups without javascript or needlessly unusable android
openssh(glad they added it though) without apps but they are far far
more responsible, professional and do lots of Good when compared to
Microsoft who without even considering the history or them
owning facebook (which has a good side, though I'm not signed up yet),
needlessly costs the world millions of pounds and hours of time, every
month.
