Microsoft fights Google for government dollars

24.02.2011

Microsoft says that there are now more than 3 million government employees using some form of Microsoft Online services. In addition, more than 15 million people are using its Live@edu services.

The companies clearly see a lot at stake in the government sector. Late last year, Google sued the U.S. Department of the Interior after it invited bids for a cloud e-mail system but required bidders to use Microsoft products.
