- sz4kerto 12y agoWell, Google Docs is free -- and Office Online is free. The subscription is for the desktop software (that Google doesn't have) and 5x unlimited OneDrive storage and some Skype minutes -- for the same price, you get 10TB storage at Google and no desktop software. I can see the reasons why one would go for the Google suite -- just wanted to point out that MS is not more expensive, it's actually cheaper.
- josefresco 12y agoFortunately for both Google and Microsoft, most businesses are willing to pay as you typically can't get decent support for a free product or service.
- rayiner 12y agoGoogle's offerings are worth exactly what they charge for them. Whether they're "enough" for "a lot of users" depends on how you define the market--by number of users or by potential revenue? They're enough for grandma writing a letter or similar informal communications, but I imagine that's a niche wholly usurped by e-mail.
