Excellent points Marko. Interestingly enough, I discovered WHY they discontinued it (at least one newsman's reasoning, but it makes sense) for free accounts. You used to be able to sync your Windows 8 mail/calendar/contacts via ActiveSync; (I found this setting up a Windows 8 machine this weekend) but it was discontinued because Microsoft was making Google pay a per-user license. I can clearly understand why they could no longer provide this as a free service to their users, but still offer it to paying customers.
