Dear Microsoft, have you forgotten that a major source of security holes in your software are backdoors that you coded in there to spy on your users?

Of course Google didn't respond to requests for comment, they were all busy staring at the screen in disbelief and disgust. "Oh, I just threw up in my mouth a little....", you know, we've all been there. This is one of those times. Microsoft = biggest hypocrites ever.

MS is just disappointed that Chrome (in it's beta release) is better than IE7 (in it's current form) ... which officially makes it the worst browser on the market.

From what's written in the article I don't see anything said by Microsoft that could be thought of as "slamming," it seems like Cullen is just talking about privacy with respect to Google as he sees it. The title's misleading and inflammatory, and I notice more and more of these types of unsavory stories on the home page, like the article criticizing Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 as "buggy". Well DUH!
