You're comparing Microsoft's request to send ALL typing and "inking" (I assume that means touch and stylus events) to Google logging search terms?

No matter how you look at it, essentially reserving the right to install a key logger on your computer is unprecedented.

But reserving the right, or just saying 'Look, we don't know all of the cases where a programmer will say "and if the user corrects this, tell us we screwed up"' (for the optimist) is not the same as sending it all.

Auto-suggest in the address bar? That's a far cry from logging every keystroke I make in the entire browser.

Leprechauns, consulting an oracle, and simultaneously typing at Google HQ.
