I have all my main email addresses listed as alternates on my account page. It makes sense to me and I’m happy for Google to have that information about me.
It’s been a source of irritation, though, that Google haven’t recognised those other emails when used within their apps such as Analytics and Calendar.
My husband’s beloved Shuttle running Windows XP died last week and in it’s place came Windows 8 with all the changes that neither of us were expecting. Gone was the old Outlook, gone was Word and Excel. After our initial setup woes it stopped feeling so different and it does appear to be quite a nice operating system.
We’ve managed to install Office 2007 and even PageMaker 5 and I’ve added the apps for Gimp and a few other graphics programs.
