Dougs Blog... Exchange Server (rarely) daily

from a Microsoft UK consultant
Microsoft and Google in the Education Cloud

This is worth a quick read if you are interested in what’s happening with Exchange in the cloud at Live@Edu and Google Apps…

“Both Queensland University for Technology (QUT) and Ohio State University (OSU) have now signed up to Live@edu, Microsoft’s online cloud suite designed for students, including Hotmail, SkyDrive and Workspaces.

Over 100,000 students from these two universities are now using Live@edu, after extensive testing resulted in Microsoft getting the deal and Google being pushed our of the picture.”

Since the battle has been cooling off with Yahoo turning down Microsoft's offer, I felt I needed to bring a little closer to this blog post. However, I still have hope that Microsoft will come back for another round.
