Microsoft attacks Google Apps
| 12/9/2007 | Posted by Pete under News |
The following statement was released by Microsoft concerning Google’s Google Apps software.
“Google has a history of releasing incomplete products, calling them beta software, and issuing updates on a ‘known only to Google’ schedule–this flies in the face of what enterprises want and need in their technology partners–what is Google doing that indicates they are in lock step with customer needs?”
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. The difference between the two, is that once GApps is fixed, everyone gets the benefits, being a hosted service. When Microsoft release a bug fix, sometimes they call it a release. After Vista, I think that they can hardly be in a position to slag Google off over their offering. True, GApps has its faults, like any other software, but at least they are willing and able to actually fix the things when they break.
Secondly, Microsoft tends to release new versions of its applications quite frequently. Google does this too, except you don’t have to pay. Thirdly, Google doesn’t bribe officials from National Standard Agencies either, in order to get their product’s domination assured.

This is the kind of company that Microsoft is.
