Google Apps Beats Office 365 For US Dept. of the Interior Contract

angry tapir writes "The U.S. Department of the Interior has picked Google Apps to provide cloud-based email and collaboration applications to about 90,000 staffers, choosing Google's services over Microsoft's Office 365. Google had sued the U.S. agency in 2010, claiming its requirements for the contract tilted the scales unfairly toward Microsoft. Google eventually dropped its lawsuit last September."

Oh Slashdot

This story sounds kinda like it was posted on Slashdot basically to get people to say "Go Google! Suck on that Microsoft!", thereby retaining the status quo and ensuring continued readership.

Re:Great Email but good luck with those docs

good luck with those docs

reads shillish. real google bashing has swear words. only those poor shills limited by internal shill policies would say something like "good luck with those docs".

imho, both office365 and google docs can suck my hairy fat cock. who in their right mind would trust their docs to a cloud service with ridiculous boilerplate disclaimers in their tou, and hosted in a country governed by satanists of the ninth circle of hell?
