Now that is a true statement. Google loves their “everything in one bucket” style of computing. MS is service-based. They have a framework (rn that’s Azure, but Windows is also a framework) and bells and whistles get added as needed.

Incompetance doesn’t build and maintain the world’s leading Operating System… But I believe it has more to do with the privacy scare with Windows 10’s launch, during the Alexa/Cortana/Siri always-on-mic stuff.

I trust them marginally more, personally. But more for their sensitivity to privacy law over some of the underhanded by-the-numbers approaches that Google uses, banking on human laziness to miss a checkbox or not sync’d across browser, mobile, and core account profiles.

Microsoft is very much in the business of making other businesses personally trust them, and that seems to extend to their privacy notices and settings.

Then again, they might just hide it better than google. Anyone with a source can chip in.

Source: MSP Escalation Tech who has been asked specifically by businesses whether G-Workspace or MS365 is more secure, from a privacy standpoint. I have not looked into free outlook accounts per-se, but the backend is the same and it’s trivial to set up a 365 business tenant with all the bells and whistles if you want to pay a license fee.

Outlook/Hotmail and it’s not even close. If you really want secure and non-scummy email, host your own MX sender. Make sure DMARC is up to date or you’ll hit spam filters all the time. You may also want to add a 2nd public IP for the purpose.
