I actually like Google okay, they have good services if you're a small business. It does suck how they abruptly drop things or modify interfaces, often with little input from the outside.

Butts

microsoft has better services for small business too. actual exchange, for one, so you're not stuck using some POS sync connector with outlook. and they have an actual product support lifecycle, so you know they're not just going to one day drop support for imap/caldav/activesync/whatever without telling anyone.

i used google apps for business for a couple years, i moved everything to office 365 as part of the beta program a few years ago and it is so much better it's not even funny.

google is poo poo for business because products and features live or die at the whims of the ballpit spergs. you literally don't know if a business critical feature will exist in a week

i'm actually warming up to the idea of exchange as SaaS. but gently caress migrating mailboxes to smb accounts.

exchange online supports direct migration from exchange server, office 365, which is identical feature wise, does not. you can only migrate mailboxes by exporting to PST, then importing to the new account.

the new server essentials role does native azure ad integration and office 365/exchange integration out of the box. it's ridiculously simple to set up.

office 365 has a full exchange online console. you can do proper migrations with it.

afik the exchange server integration is only available with the Ex plans, not the Px small business plans. you can't mix the plans within a domain and the per license cost of the Px plans is lower so it tends to be what businesses with les than 25 licenses are using.

i just think "what if you only had one plan that was $5 per seat-month or $50 per seat-year"

why do that when you can have 15 plans covering every price point with every level of feature and product availability spread amongst them.

some of the features may or may not be listed on the license comparison page, because those features are specific to types of licenses, and are enumerated elsewhere in a document you won't find unless you know the specific name this week to search for.

it's like a secret menu for your SaaS

right, you need enterprise to federate with ad to be able to extend your onsite exchange to *~the cloud~*, but you definitely can migrate from onsite exchange into any office 365 plan using native exchange poo poo (e.g. the way outlook connects to exchange, whatever the one that isnt activesync is). just make an account with full access to all the mailboxes on your on-prem exchange, and feed those details into the migration wizard and it goes off and does the rest.

nice. last i looked the ms technet article and the support group said the MAPI migration tool wasn't supported with the SMB plans.

yup. there is no exchange admin interface in the small business plans.

the instructions here don't work because this "Click Admin, and then click Exchange" doesn't exist in the P1 and P2 plans.

the original ruling was they they were guilty as all hell and the company was to be broken up, that was in mid-2000. by mid-2001, on appeal, they decided that the original judge was a loving retard and couldn't really do most of what he had ruled. also that he had basically made huge ethical lapses by commenting publicly on the case while judging it.

i don't know that the republicans really had a lot to do with that

bush was elected in 2000 FYI and gutted the doj prosecution team

I mean did the sudden and complete collapse of an otherwise open and shut federal case after a change of executive branch not strike you as maybe just a tiny bit suspicious?

it's suspicious alright, but the case didn't really collapse. the appeals court decided they couldn't actually break up microsoft, just force them to open the platform.

i dunno, maybe ol' GW phoned up kollar-kotelly and told her not to allow the breakup, but it seems more likely that they just decided they couldn't justify the breakup of the company within the framework of the law.

they did just steamroll all the objections to the settlement when approving it though, so who knows.

well they got 1 years worth of profits out of pnb paribas for sidestepping the sanctions on sudan over darfur just this month. in one sense getting record sums out of these assholes is nice, but in the other its turned in to this extortion racket. the companies can't conceivably go to trial and are under absolute duress of complete revocation of business. no judicial review, no legislation applies, no public policy debate as to whether its better to do this or go after executives/boardmembers personally. it reeks of political ambition by ny prosecutors and tying all this to personal prosecutorial discretion is unseemly.

now that it's all just fines, they're considered part of the cost of doing business. obviously they'll fight to minimize the fines, but as long as they're still making money who gives a poo poo?

at least google learned one important lesson from microsoft, buy the legislators off before anyone starts rumbling about antitrust. they've been lobbying hardore for at least a decade now.

their plan isn't mincome or something, it's just automating the poors out of a job and outsourcing the rest.

search is buggered beyond recognition now, trying to get google to search for what you've actually typed requires going through two hidden menus and selecting "verbatim", as opposed to say, searching for what the gently caress you typed by default. they've completely hosed the maps interface over the last couple years, for no obvious reason, and hidden or removed every useful feature it had. gmail is only good compared to webmail pre-gmail. and even then as long as you never plan to go anywhere else, because they do some awful things to their message headers. apps for business is a joke in every sense.

google makes a lot of bad products now, and the few products that were good, even if only by comparison to their competition are being shitted up on the regular now because bored ballpit spergs can't leave well enough alone
