I use Fastmail for my important email because I want to be paying a company to take me seriously as a customer. They’re not going to just lock me out of my account because of some random abuse trigger elsewhere in their system. You’re proba

Perhaps if people aren’t willing to pay for it the service isn’t that valuable after all.

I wonder what the cost would be to build out a secondary backup site on a different continent.

Not really. Wild animals mostly live in the environment they are adapted to. Most birds survive just fine out in the world. Chickens are not adapted to anything, but rather selected by us, and they certainly weren’t selected for toughness.

Releasing them would be dooming them to a horrible death. They'd end up ripped apart by wild animals or otherwise injured and live in pain until they die.

Why should it be an either/or thing? Both are valid reasons for Google to prefer its employees use Docs. However the fact that you can choose to use MS Office without any special permissions somewhat undermines your reasoning in poin

I may work for Google but I am often critical of them. I have no reason to lie in this instance, and anyone you talk to who works for Google will corroborate what I'm saying. Not everything is a conspiracy.

I imagine most people who want MS Office over Google Docs probably want it for Excel, which IIUC as several powerful features not present in Google's Sheets.

Yes, we can afford it, and that's why if you want MS Office you click a button on a web page and get it immediately. But why would we throw away money by having it installed by default?

by enneff 6y ago
MS Office isn't "banned" from employees' computers at Google. If you need it (and some do) you must request it specifically, because it costs Google a nontrivial amount of money for every user. Same thing with any piece

Your timelines are incorrect there. TacoTown is Buzz which was launched in 2010. Wave was launched in 2009.

Hugely contentious statement. People still play the original Quake competitively. It's still one of the most thrilling and intense multiplayer FPS experiences. There aren't many games that are as fast or have a physics engine that

OS updates on ChromeOS are seamless and mostly go unnoticed by the user, FWIW.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted here. Everyone knows that there are exclusive cliques and there always will be. If you desperately want to be part of a group that doesn’t want you, then that’s your problem to overcome.
