Never thought I'd see the day when Google forced me into Microsofts' arms. Wow.

http://domains.live.com was actually far simpler and faster to setup than a free Google Apps account - which I've done probably 20 times and still struggle to figure out each time. MS version took me about two minutes and was extremely easy to understand - and I can't recall the last time I've signed up for an MS web product. Probably Hotmail in 2002 or something.

Great job Big G! lol

I am pretty sure you stole this post right out of my head. First it was the removal of the left sidebar search criteria e.g. search by date as well as removing the image search options e.g. search by image size. Now, Google takes away their free apps plan. I am about to launch a startup/service and the integration of Google apps was going to be part of it. Now, it looks like the integration of Microsoft's live/office services are going to take the place of Google Apps.

Oh well...
