    Default Google bruk M$ foot, Ballmer cries into his beer...

    Google takes Microsoft's biggest customer away

    Aussies say XXXX off to Vole

    By Nick Farrell: Wednesday, 30 July 2008, 8:33 AM


    MICROSOFT'S BIGGEST single client worldwide has been stolen away by the search engine outfit Google.

    The NSW Department of Education, with1.3 million users, has taken Google's free email product.

    The NSW Director-General of Education, Michael Coutts-Trotter said students and teachers, will each receive customised Gmail accounts.

    The contract was so big that Google were prepared to put together a world-class package of services, he said.

    It is fairly clear that the Vole could not compete on price. Previously it cost the NSW government $30 million to run on Voleware. This deal will cost just $9.5 million.

    Please... and 9 mil... is what Bill Give to Charity....

    For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, Microsoft announced revenue of $60.42 billion, an 18% increase over the prior year. Operating income and diluted earnings per share for the year were $22.49 billion and $1.87, representing yearly growth of 21% and 32%, respectively.

    The growth rates for operating income and diluted earnings per share were impacted by a $1.1 billion charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 related to the expansion of the company’s Xbox 360 warranty coverage.

    “Delivering $60 billion in annual revenue is an outstanding accomplishment and a testament to the powerful combination of great technology solutions and strong execution by our partners and global sales and marketing teams,” said Kevin Turner, chief operating officer at Microsoft. “The outlook for fiscal year 2009 is positive given the breadth of our impressive technology portfolio and the expanding collection of online services we are bringing to market.”
