On September 28, 2011, In Google Apps, Office 365, By The Google Bee
Microsoft went one up on Google Apps with a Gmail spoof video which has been doing the rounds. Titled the "Gmail" man, depicting a snoopy postman who likes to read people's mail, Microsoft has targeted Google's policy of scanning Gmail users mail to serve up relevant ads. Microsoft has kept mum about producing the video, but it is quite obvious to most that it is an MS production.
The video is very witty, and certainly worth a watch. Everyone is waiting with bated breath to see how Google responds. It did its own "Gmail intervention" video, but that is limp, and doesnt seem to be a direct response. See the video below and get a few chuckles.
One sometimes needs to take a step back to get a clearer perspective of things. Till a few years back, Microsoft wouldn't so much as acknowledge Google's existence in the enterprise space. Now it has a page up on its main site, painstakingly explaining how Office 365 is better than Google Apps.
