By the by, I believe Google's domain and infrastructure hosting services are still cheaper, and probably more effective.


I dunno about that. Google still has a VERY hard sell to convince customers to pay for Google Office. Google might be willing to drop the price REALLY low (eg. ad-funded) to pick off the low-hanging fruit, but it remains to be seen whether they can grab many MS Office customers. This is a pretty smart move by MS, in my opinion. It seems to blunt the impact of Google Office/Apps.

Yeah, I agree about the office app thing. I was speaking more to the domain/email hosting functions that Google offer users. Chances are, the PCs these people will run will be bundled with Office anyway.
