Microsoft strives to discredit Google itsadding more material to his smear campaign Scroogled. Specifically now they attack the The company's Android app store, the Play Store. With a couple of videos in the line of those who have criticized Gmail and the search engine and with the same characters, they point out that those of Mountain View share your data with the developers of the apps you buy and that these are sold to advertising companies around the world.
The videos in question make clear the amount of data we share with the Californian company and the little control we have over what third parties end up knowing about us. One is more dramatic and another, the most recent, has an explanatory tone.
Without a doubt, what they maintain is true and we must think about it. But what we cannot doubt is the intentions of those from Redmond who see Google as one of their greatest competencies in the domain of consumer computing.
This is just the latest episode of a campaign already a bit long of discredit. In the United States, advertisements have been seen on television that have criticized various Mountain View services with the same criticism of privacy. Gmail, the search service itself and Android have been criticized, yes, while reminding us that we have another option in Microsoft's counterpart products: Outlook, bing and Windows Phone.
In Mountain View they ignored that campaign at first. They preferred to compete with facts such as denying you certain services for Windows 8 computers in any form. However, at one point they did go on the counterattack and suggested to Microsoft that they would do better by engaging in make better products than to criticize them.
The disciples of Bill Gates have chosen to continue and the intensity has not diminished. In the page scroogled.com you can see the material used so far.
