This is fun. I work at a school in China where we can't use Google Apps. But we'd like something like that, so we were considering using Office 365. Microsoft isn't allowed to operate its own deployment of Office 365 in China, that gets outsourced to a Chinese service partner with its own datacenter. The features aren't even completely the same when you compare the outsourced Office 365 with Microsoft's Office 365. So of course we're thinking of just going with Microsoft's offering, which is easily accessible within China anyway (for now). Will this change? I suppose there's a reason why they had to outsource their China presence to a Chinese service partner. Gah, complicated.
