Microsoft courts Google Apps users with free Office 365 trial |
December 19, 2012
For the second day in a row, Microsoft on Tuesday pitched one of its products to customers abandoned by arch-rival Google.
In an attempt to woo users of Google Apps, Microsoft yesterday tripled the length of its Office 365 Small Business free trial from 30 to 90 days. The deal—pegged "P1" in Microsoft's current stable of subscription plans—offers cloud-based email, shared calendars and Web-based Office app access to up to 10 employees.
Normally, P1 costs $72 per user per year.
