Each of the FAQ questions end with: " Availability and pricing for Office 365 will be announced at a future date."
So are they going to charge for this and are they going to start charging existing l...@edu users? I'm evaluating both this and Google but unless MS clarifies this, we're not going with MS. Hopefully Google doesn't follow MS on this. -----Original Message----- From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Grady Niles Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 8:27 AM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] l...@edu becomes Office 365 for Education Yeah, that wording is pretty vague. If they're going to start charging for l...@edu type services, why would anyone choose Microsoft over Google? Thankfully, we're very early in the process of migrating to l...@edu. Microsoft is going to have to clarify their position and come out with more details before we move any further along with the process. -----Original Message----- From: tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org [mailto:tech-geeks-boun...@tech-geeks.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Zobel Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 7:35 AM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] l...@edu becomes Office 365 for Education Did you notice on the webpage they that pricing will be available soon.
