Google: And if the Chinese government asks them to disclose your company information to them, they will. Of course, you’re not a Chinese company, so what right would they have to ask for your information anyway? But then again, Google is not about to push back given the *market opportunity* in China today. As you know, it’s better to engage with the Chinese government than to sit on the sidelines. Google sold out the Chinese people, why wouldn’t they sell you out too?

Shouldn't they also be offering it to the ones who would like to "manage, deploy and patch" it themselves? Then all the "gmail is just plain creepy" dolts can be brought into the fold, as it were.

Oh, I'm just too Web 0.9!

Brilliant as usual. MS has thrived for decades partly from good products but also by making it very hard - nearly impossible - to avoid using MS applications even if they were cumbersome or complex or way overbuilt as is MS Office.

Google can skim perhaps 80% of all *enterprise* application uses with simple, easy, fast tools that intergrate well with online calendars, websites, and other online tools.

The new Enterprise Network environment is called "The Internet" and Google wants to control it before MS even figures out what's going on.

Why is this new news? The email+calendar+talk has been part of the GMail for Your Domain offering for months now. They just added pages and put out a press release!

What's more interesting is the educational domain part. Its a very smart way to tap those impressionable minds and convert them to a forever-customer.

Doesn’t that privacy notice just mean that the people who run your domain have this access? That doesn’t seem any scarier than any normal IT organization, where you expect your boss to be reading your e-mail anyway.

Prett cool, but be sure to check out the privacy notice Om Malik mentioned:

Not that this should necessarily stop anyone, but it should be read before jumping in.
