- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> Seems implausible, no? Not really. All it would take would be liability for privacy violations.
- tylerl 8y agoThese products have Enterprise customers with long term contracts. Same as core GCP services. They can't be turned down for any reason. End of story.
- ams6110 8y agoGmail, Docs, Drive seem pretty safe bets. Would not put my money on anything else though.
- vnorilo 8y agoI'm pretty sure the ads will keep working :P
- prepend 8y agoFine for individuals. But switching a huge org with tons of weird, internal processes and rules seems like a gamble that meeting those requirements will always be important for Gmail (ie, using ie11 for some dumb reason). I agree with you on drive, but docs is missing lots of features compared to msoffice (macros, excel functions, offline storage and runs) and google hasn’t been building tons of stuff into docs for a while. I think they are fine for small orgs, but big orgs pay for lots of support and customization.
- pjc50 8y agoThere was at least one story of "our Google account was banned, our small business is inoperable and we can't contact anyone" on HN.
- nielsbjerg 8y agoThey are shutting down inbox though. I know the mail will stay, but I will miss inbox.
