For 80% of the users the extra expense of the extra features in Microsoft Office aren't needed

Using Pareto's principle, we can safely say that 80% of the people would only use 20% of the features in Microsoft Office.

Re: New version of Google Apps offers less expensive alternative to Microsoft Office.

All the rest of the features are using the extra memory and extra hard drive space, and taking away the extra cash from your bank account and putting it in Microsoft' bank account. For 80% of the users the extra expense of the extra features in Microsoft Office are not needed and are the equivalent of having your thermostat set in the house at High all the time, even when you are not there. They invented the programable thermostat to save on your energy cost. Google has invented the apps to save on you IT cost.

Make Sure You Read the Fine Print before

- to see why see the article at http://www.pcprofile.com/Office_Collaboration.pdf that I wrote some months ago on the topic.

Great tool, great concept, BUT it has a big downside for the unwary. It's not as plain sailing as many would like to believe.

If you want to share your IP with the rest of the world and have it all over servers everywhere, go for it, but those of us that make a living out of IP matters, it's a real issue.

It's an even bigger issue if you want to have commercial secrets and decide to collaborate using Google Apps, the Ts and Cs will kill you, and not with laughter!

Are you aware that for anything you load up into Google Apps you immediately grant a license to Google to use in any way they so choose? Read their fine print.

Whilst you might own the IP, you are also assigning them rights to it as well!

Is that what you had in mind for confidential documents, spreadsheets, presentations etc?

I suspect not.

Use Google Apps with caution!
