    <p>I think you'll find them comparable, at least the basics (email, calendar, etc.) plus storage. I prefer Google Maps to anything Microsoft does, and Google Photos. I think the app/web interface stuff is a matter of preference but the Microsoft stuff is very good overall I'd say.</p>

        <blockquote><a href="#89697"><em>In reply to Ajwa68:</em></a></blockquote><p>Eh, everyone's going to take your personal information and use it for themselves. Microsoft, Google, Apple. If you're expecting privacy online, you shouldn't be using online services to begin with.</p>
