Google Apps to Become Paid Service

Posted by samzenpus on from the google-is-coming dept.

FredDC writes "Business Week reports Google Apps is becoming a paid service soon for companies who wish to use it for their domain. Disney and Pixar are reportedly thinking about switching to Google Apps instead of using Microsoft Office. Could this be the end of a monopoly? Or the start of a new one?"

  1. Are they serious? by bogaboga · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I thought the internet is not that reliable. Even Google has been "offline" at times. For Yahoo, it's even worse at least from Canada. How would a serious business decide to go online for serious business? Are folks at those companies really competent? I am beginning to doubt!

    I thought the apps included the 'docs and spreadsheets' module ?

    No.

    of course it doesn't run on Safari just yet, and I can't be bothered to install Firefox just to find out...

    1) You don't have to install FF to find out, just read the linked article (I know, I know, I'm obviously new).

    2) Install Firefox. It works with more websites than Safari. Adblock by itself makes the switch worth it.
