- In an interview with ZDnet.com.au, Peter Cullen, Microsoft’s chief privacy strategist talked trash about Google’s privacy policies.
- He’s quoted saying “Google’s a great company, got some great products, but you know in some respects I think Google is where Microsoft was seven or 10 years ago.”
- Also, “Microsoft has over 40 full-time people invested in privacy and over 400 part-time people. Google hasn’t — at least from what I read about them — evolved to that.”
