A few days ago, I visited the library in Singapore and found a book Google Apps: the missing manual. As a hardcore fans and a strong practitioner of Google technology, I Don't hesitate to borrow it. Although Google Apps has been used for more than a year, and I have personally felt its strength and convenience, I have found many useful skills in my book. Currently, Microsoft's office system is widely used, and its functions are powerful enough. However, Google Apps's network office system, as a rising star, is an important part of Google's enterprise-level cloud computing strategic layout, functions are even more difficult. Google Apps allows companies to bind their own domain names and create their own domain name email systems. The interface is exactly the same as Gmail. You can customize the home page, collaborate and share documents, and instant communication. The most important thing is that it is free and provides G-level storage space, and of course Google's sign feature-lightning-like full-text search. Next we will compare how Microsoft's office system is upgraded to Google Apps's network office system one by one.
- Host (Microsoft does not provide this function ):Google Apps can directly bind a domain name.
- Company homepage (Microsoft does not provide this function ):Google Apps can not only create a home page, but also store gadgets.
- Email and schedule (outlook) + SharePoint + exchange:The calendar, email system, and document Sharing Systems in Google Apps are fully qualified.
- Documents (Word), tables (Excel), presentations (PowerPoint), surveys (not available at Microsoft ):Google Doc can be used all over the Internet. It also saves the version changed each time for free and provides the version comparison function.
- MSN (Windows Live Messenger ):Gtalk allows users to store chat records in personal emails of Google Apps. This is more obvious than storing chat records locally.
- Application (Microsoft does not provide this function ):Google Apps can directly bind applications written by Google App Engine to subdomains. About Google App Engine, you can find more content in the author's blog http://blog.csdn.net/harryliu.

Google will gradually break into Microsoft's enterprise-level market. Google will then integrate and develop key customers in various industries, and then vigorously promote them. It is not long before the unification of rivers and lakes. In addition, for users with advanced requirements, Google will charge based on usage. In the long run, it is certainly easier to make money to sell services than to sell services with a hammer. Since the development of the software, Microsoft has paid for the license at one time, and then the old user upgrade will make the payment again. Window Vista is an example. New Products are doing well, but they are not good for future upgrades. It is not easy for Microsoft to make some money now.
