it is not acceptable, just some people here favor their little convenience (ie saying something instead of few taps on screen) over long term privacy. heck, some even defend targeted ads. Sad thing is, mainstream users won't even know about these things coming.

what i like about the situation - it might actually make some bigger organizations turn away from what MS can offer. biggest issue are usually Win-only or IE-only intranet apps, but with proper management steering, changes (in the way technology for apps is chosen) can be done. Now just to have proper substitute for Active directory, and it's game over for their OS there.
