If you keep track of Microsoft's Terms of Service agreements (I know, it's like logging the growth of grass in your back yard), you know that the TOS went through a limited but embarrassing revamp in March after Microsoft admitted it scanned a blogger's Hotmail account in response to the Kibkalo Windows 8 leaks. Russian Alex Kibkalo, nicked at a conference in Bellevue, drew a prison sentence of time-served-plus-one-week, followed by extradition. We pay penance with yet another MS TOS update.
As the Scroogled campaign made abundantly clear, Microsoft's view of its approach to privacy varies greatly with Google's "we can look at anything (except Apps for Education Gmail and paid services) to dish out ads" stance. There's a fair amount of gray area at the edges, though, that the new MS Terms of Service leave fuzzy.
