Comments on: Virgin to migrate customers onto Google Mail

In a staged rollout, the ISP will move its millions of customers onto Google's popular Web-based mail service, known outside the U.K. and Germany as Gmail.

[Marcus Westrup]

No no no.
Google does Not care about the privacy of it's mail system, and has already been accused of selling information collected from client emails. Some companies are now refusing to do business with anyone who uses a Google based email service for just that reason.
Virgin is throwing it's customers to the wolves.

@skillingssucks your id sounds idiotic to me

None of this constitutes abuse, or a human reading your emails for gain. It is AI pure and simple and there has to be some way to make revenue from free services. If you pay Google, then I think the ads are removed.

Gmail is slow, they should have chosen Hotmail.

Mr Dee, I'm not a microsoft basher, and its a great company (check my previous posts) , but hotmail is one product which they did not get right, recently I had a spambot in my hotmail, which sent a junk email to all my contacts (and those contacts were on hotmail only not any where else). I was quite pissed off to hear from people I had been avoiding for ages.

Thats what happens when you stick your Windows live username and password into any old site 'topgunb2' One or 2 of my friends have had exactly the same thing happen, strangely enough it was after they had entered their username and password in some dubious looking site.

Your stupidity has nothing to do with Hotmail.

Go to Google at your own risk, there are a lot of people going to get there Butts kicked shortly. They never learn, dont give you history to anyone.
