Google Retaliates Against Microsoft Bid For Yahoo! With Another Tier of Google Office Apps: Team Edition
Thursday, February 7th, 2008
I can’t help it. I love this rivalry.
However, to tell you the truth… it’s getting ugly folks.
In case you are just joining us today, here is the backstory… Microsoft and Google continue to fire “warning” salvos.
Sun buys MySQL, shoring up network computering. Oracle grins. Microsoft panics that things are shifting towards network computing faster than expected.
Microsoft reacts by bidding for Yahoo! at premium to speed up the deal during an election year. Google issues a hurriedly-written release objecting the merger.
And then, (just like in Final Fantasy when Active Time Battle in Final Fantasy), Google tells students, “you know what, dudes? You really don’t need to buy Microsoft Office this year since we are going into an economic slowdown. Get Google Apps Team Edition instead.” Teeheee.
Here is an excerpt from the press release:
Google Apps Team Edition lets colleagues and departments at work, or
study groups at school, immediately begin sharing information within a
domain. In addition, the Team Edition can easily be upgraded to Google
Apps Standard, Premier or Education Edition for full administrative
control, such as the ability to set default sharing options, decide
which applications are available on the network, or determine who has
access.
This is getting good.
