Google App’s proving it’s worth in the competition for Office Suites. The District of Washington seems to be nixing Microsoft Office and going with Google Apps for the Office Apps.

Granted, one Google win over Microsoft doesn’t necessarily signal a trend. But the win is significant for Google, nonetheless. It becomes even more noteworthy considering that the customer is a local government, a market which has traditionally been slow to embrace the latest technologies. – ReadWriteWeb

Of course the White House is not moving over to GApps, as the article states.

    Yeah - the search quality on Google has been going down considerably with search spammers playing with the ranking

    I would say this is a huge win. For google this is just an experiment. But for Microsoft this is their bread and butter.

    But I think Google should concentrate more on search to improve that. I think google is getting too complacent because users dont have a good alternative for search.
