Tyrant,

the cloud is located in the US, becasue the servers are. For companies, having their computers remote-controllable from external clouds (=US spies), is no way to go for them. Its like banks having their safe mechanisms controlled by robbers in another country.

Google and MS can claim as much as they want that they do not cooperate with the US intel services. They do, 100% certain, and I take it for certain as well that the US services massively support what the British prime minister demanded from the British GCHQ: to "support business interests of the British industry".

In other words the governmental services are ordered to steal everything from foreign companies that is of value to own companies: financial papers, inventions, blueprints, formulas, development data.

If you store that in the cloud, or you have it in your own companies network - but that network depends on an OS that only exists in the cloud, located in the US - guess in whose hands control of you data ends.

I will run W7 to death, and then disconnect it from the web, and getting a second computer based on Linux and open Gnu-sofdtware and the like. It's clear. I will not increase but reduce my internet dependence and activities.

I'm loosing interest in all that anyway, slowly, but constantly. So it is more a question of timing anyway.
