UPDATE: The AP reports that Google is offering 15 days of free service to businesses, government agencies and other subscribers who pay for an expanded version of the product. Check out the full AP post here.

It's things like this that make is difficult for me to believe Google is evil.

If they are, they are really good at it.

Yeah, but at the same time, every time the company brings out a new product/expands its reach even further, I get that kind of uncomfortable, shifty, nervous feeling. 😛

yea um...a free 15 day trial of pretty, easy online Office is nothing compared to then getting to store everything for (possibly) numerous governments and fortune 100's.

If anything this makes me more worried they'll go all evil on us.

This outage was probably retaliation to us calling them a monopoly yesterday.

Oh...my bad. I thought they were offering the 15 days to new clients.

Minus points to me for not reading.

I guess we all found out why the BETA tag is still on the Gmail logo.

Don't think I care for the evil google talk. Its email and advertising which is two things I can live without and find elsewhere if I needed or cared to do so.

It happens no big deal. Not like issues always occuring from google.
