I'm almost completely off Google (started my exodus late last year) and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it'd be.

I moved into the Microsoft ecosystem.

It's all there. Bing is surprisingly good, SkyDrive surpasses even Dropbox and Office 365 w/ OneNote is the best office suite available. I even got a Windows Phone 8 (yeah, I can get carried away sometimes).

The point is, there's a whole new world out there that's sans Google, and it's probably better than you imagine it to be.

It's great that you're happy in the Microsoft ecosystem, but other than the "not Google" checkbox, what issues with being in the Google ecosystem does being in the Microsoft ecosystem solve?

It's an upgrade and a change from the usual, and the change didn't disrupt my workflow. If anything, it streamlined it.

But in terms of privacy, it just means I have a new taskmaster.
