"Google's revenues from Apps/Docs/Email is still only a few percent"
As an example Google gives away service to education so their revenue from that would be $0. As does Office 365 (at least that is what we were offered).
Many copies of Windows and Mac based Office of course is still purchased as frankly Google Docs and 365 are only appropriate for simple use cases.
- twistedpair 13y agoRemember. If you do everything in your browser, no body cares about whether you're running Windows, OSX, ChromeOS or AmigaOS. That's the point. Get everyone on the web. Force your entrenched competitors onto the web we're they'll be vulnerable to the inevitable openness the web brings.
- barake 13y agoOffice 365 is free at the lowest level. For $2.50/student/month and $4.50/employee/month you get an SLA and the full Office suite for everybody. It's a real bargain compared to hosting and managing your own email solution, plus students get Office licenses while they're enrolled.
