Australian Schools Boot Microsoft for Google Gmail

In other news relating to Google's Gmail platform, one of Google's technology partners is suing that company over "deceptive business practices," according to a Reuters story.

According to the account, LimitNone LLC met with Google over LimitNone's gMove tool, which can move address and calendar information from Microsoft's Outlook into Gmail. The lawsuit alleges that Google copied the gMove tool and produced its own similar free solution called Google Email Uploader.

LimitNone's lead attorney, David Rammelt, told Reuters that LimitNone's alleged loss, based on Google's 50 million subscribers, "very quickly gets you up to about $950 million."
