Submission + - Google to compete with Microsoft, IBM at the Core
Linkin99 writes: "Google is unveiling a product today to compete with Microsoft Corp. and IBM Corp. in the multibillion-dollar business of providing e-mail, calendar, and other tools on corporate computer desktops.
From the article: "The Web-based product, called Google Apps Premier Edition, also will include word processing and document sharing, instant messaging, and Internet voice capability. Google will offer it to large companies for $50 per employee, host the applications on its own servers, and provide a service guarantee for its customers."
Can Google steal away a large part of the corporate usage market using this pricing scheme? Would you use it if you were a business?"
