I agree with your comment but as it stands the business market is MUCH larger than the education market. Most schools don’t use either or don’t pay much. Schools are seen as essentially a small vertical in the extremely large market. Just think of all the companies who pay for 20,000 microsoft licenses. A lot of the market you describe is free.

- screye 8y agoThe education market is a lot.more important than that . Companies like Matlab, Autodesk prioritize getting young engineering students familiar with their products, so that the industry ends up adopting their products more willingly.
- beauzero 8y agoJust left a place with 17k+ G Suite accounts (K-12). They used free G Suite. Google is ingenious in how they are "certifying" educators on G Suite. The price for the tests are incredibly cheap < $50. They didn't even think of going with Microsoft, even though tiers 1,2 are free with tier 3 being $2 per user? for K-12. State government is exactly the opposite. While not trivial standing up a shared AD tenet is easy/doable and gives you quick SSO in the cloud for .NET based web apps when everybody (logins) is on the tenet/AD. Quick being the keyword.
