    Yes, but it’s essentially the difference between the greed of an ancient red wyrm, (Microsoft) and an adolescent white wyrm. (Alphabet)

    The white guy is almost a cutie next to the red one

  Google now has the market cornered because they aren’t as greedy.

  honestly cant tell if this is satire. my university is currently purging google storage as fast as we can because they altered the licening once we were fully invested. and that was before they started screwing around with licensing language around their Ai. the google mdm is an absolute joke. not even my orgs own google team reccomends it and their jobs depend on google being used. i’d use the vmware nightmare formerly known as airwatch over google mdm.

  google is exactly this greedy.

  Google offered Workspace free to individuals. I set that up and used it for my family, and then BAM! After a decade or so of using it, they removed the free plan, once we were using it for logins for a bunch of sites and for our emails. Went from free to $50 per month. It took a LOT of effort to get my family off of that. Never again.

  Hey remember when Google used to have a motto, “Don’t be evil”?

  Used to.

  This article clearly states that this non-profit switched to MS specifically because Google changed their non-profit plans to be paid.

  They aren’t as greedy yet. It will come.

  I don’t know where you’re based, but I work in a international NGO and the majority are in the MS ecosystem. Same with many midsized NGOs in Sweden.

  I’ve read horror stories of an employee doing something on their own personal account and Google locking out the whole business.

    I made accounts for my board of directors, two of them got “permanently suspended” because of “violating the TOS” before they even logged in. Had to delete and recreate them. So it’s not perfect, but for free, I do manage.

      The biggest problem with Google’s offerings is their total lack of support.
