Not free, but a heck of a lot cheaper and for some projects even more capable. Of course this will now start a round of DC bashing by the WFBs. http://www.gcn.com/print/27_28/47565-1.html "Washington DC latest to drop Microsoft for web apps" http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081012-washington-dc-latest-to-drop- microsoft-for-web-apps.html "Washington D.C. has joined 500,000+ businesses and organizations in moving its communication and productivity tools into the cloud. Vivek Kundra, CTO for the District, signed an agreement with Google to migrate the organization's 38,000 employees to Google Apps, the search giant's web-based offering of communication and productivity tools. Washington D.C. is a not-insignificant win for Google, and yet another blow to Microsoft's incumbent Office suite, as a surge of web apps steadily replaces their desktop counterparts." ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
