Microsoft just open a new front in their war with Google, after the beta search engine or the upgrade in hotmail storage space. The recent launch of MSN Spaces, Microsoft free blog tool, their moving the war in blogsphere, trying to steal some of the share of Google’s Blogger.

The new tool is unfortunately forcing new users to grant Microsoft permission to “use, copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, modify, translate and reformat” their Blog postings. In this case Microsoft practically owns the content and can modify it at will? I will probably stick to what i got so far, and try to keep myself away from Microsoft tools, as much as I can.
