We all know that the school's just going to go with the cheaper alternative, meaning our opinions mean nothing. Just pray the better one is cheaper.

Hey everyone so new update!

The prices between both Microsoft and Google are actually quite close and now that the quotes have been received, we are ready to hold the survey from October 25th-29th.

Basically you will type in the URL which will take you to the MSU website where there will be an overview of both companies and a clickable button which will direct you to macvote. The vote will run continuously from 8am on the 25th, until the survey closes on Friday the 29th.

The results from this vote will dictate what email system we get. The timeline to get the new system is January and both companies were told of this before they developed their quote.

Huzaifa Saeed and I will be providing more information/links next week but I just wanted to let you know that you will be choosing your new email system.

If this happens, I would love integration with my Google services. My life is on Google. Gmail, Calendar...hell if they give us Docs accounts that's be awesome. Imagine submitting our assignments via Google Docs! Or being notified of changes to assignment due-dates that automatically are applied to our Google Calendar. That'd be pretty sweet.
