Mountain View, California-based Google said the universities of North
Carolina Greensboro, Clemson, Texas San Antonio, Kennesaw State, and
Arkansas State have signed up for its free Google Apps Education
Edition service, which comprises of email, messaging, online calendars,
word processing, and spreadsheets. Registered non-profit organizations
now qualify for Google Apps Education Edition at no cost. The five
universities join other universities like the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, Trinity College in Dublin and Nihon University in Tokyo,
who already use Google's applications... The move impacts Microsoft,
a company that Google is going after in the applications space and
also battling with over online advertising and other web-based services.
Microsoft has its headquarters in Redmond, a suburb of Seattle, which
is stone's throw away from Google's three new office buildings located
in neighboring Kirkland. This adds to the existing engineering office
that Google has in the city, which employs roughly 400 people. It also
has a 30-man sales office in the area as well. In May Google also
subleased 60,000 square feet of office space in Fremont, another
suburb of Seattle.
