It is very clear to me, even with your update that you have a personal bias against Microsoft. If this is not true, then why did you not mention in your update that Google Drive has not even launched to the general public (it is invite only at this point) so they are really behind the ball. In my eyes this is a deliberate omission of Google's product. I do not think there was a concerted effort to attack your article, rather I think people just want the truth.
