Google Apps Premier Edition Launches, Widely Used
Tookis writes "Google's online productivity suite (Google Apps) has already replaced Microsoft products at more than 100,000 small to medium enterprises. Additionally, it's been deployed for serious work-related projects at two of the largest companies in the world. Product manager for Google Enterprise Kevin Gough was quick to point out that although the premier edition of Google Apps only just launched, it's already been adopted by companies like GE, Procter & Gamble, Prudential and Loreal. He goes on to describe the role of Apps: to augment, not necessarily replace existing IT solutions. Just the same, he says, the role of Apps can be powerful where traditional services may be too expensive. Says Gough, 'There's a large segment that's under-served by today's productivity tools. Production workers and retail employees for instance. 48% of all employees actually don't even have an email address. That's because the cost of hardware, software and maintenance has made it prohibitively expensive to provide email to employees.'"
How can this be FUD? I mean, we're talking about moving *away* from Microsoft here, so there's no way this can be FUD! Not on /.!

Shut up.
/.'ers are foaming at the mouth anti-msft zealots. I may hate MSFT, but that doesn't mean I automatically love any competitor. And I suspect many other /.'ers feel the same. For someone with such a low UID, you think you'd get it more.
Not all
I realize you're trying to be funny, but it's just really annoying to hear the same bullshit over and over again. Yes, MSFT is pure evil. No, not everyone else is automatically gold.

He called B$, not FUD. Just because it is a bald-faced lie doesn't mean it is FUD.
Your anger stems from your shame that you aren't as Anti-MS as you deep down inside feel and know you should be.
Only you can absolve yourself of your own sins. Embrace the Google.

My reply claims I knew it was a joke. My complaint was that it was a BAD joke.
