Google Building Chrome Base at Universities in Exchange for Absorbing IT Costs
- enomar 17y agoSeems like disingenuous reporting. The article is clearly about Google providing gmail and apps hosting to universities. That's old news, and yes, it may make people more open to using Google services. But what does this have to do with Chrome OS?
- jonknee 17y agoI think the logic is they are getting millions of college students to use the core applications of Chrome OS and that will provide leverage at some point. A bit far fetched, but I suppose having the next generation grow up using your platform is a good thing for when you try and convince them to use your OS.
- electromagnetic 17y agoSadly the college my wife is currently attending is changing their system over to Outlook online, which can only be used via IE opposed to their current system that can be used by IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari. Not only is their in-campus system horrific for non-MS fanboys, but now their out-of-campus system is becoming an MS whore too.
- endtime 17y agoI use Outlook Web Access with Opera and it works just fine...not sure which system your wife uses.
- modeless 17y agoI'll grant you that OWA does work in Opera (and other non-IE browsers) but it really sucks compared to the IE version. Perhaps you've never tried it in IE; if so then you don't know what you're missing. Thankfully, Exchange 2010 will finally bring full OWA support to non-IE browsers. http://www.robichaux.net/blog/2009/04/exchange-2010-owa.php http://www.robichaux.net/blog/2009/04/exchange-2010-owa.php
- endtime 17y agoI have used the IE version as well, and yeah, it's better...but the Opera (and others) version is perfectly sufficient.
- fatdog789 17y agoOutlook Web Access can be used with IE, Firefox, Chrome, or Opera without any problems or loss of functionality. If you are experiencing differently, the problem is on your end.
