Google vs. Microsoft: Middlebury Debates a Switch
Yes, a pillow fight between Google and Microsoft.
Middlebury is looking to switch to Google products for email, calendar, etc. But Microsoft and its band of Outlook-lovers won’t go down without a fight. How do you duke it out at this school?
A debate. Well, ten debates. LIS is sponsoring a week‘s worth of debates on current products vs. Google. And it’s up to you to weigh in — should Middlebury welcome the giant G into our lives? Below are the dates and times to ask the right questions (especially students who won’t all be back on campus yet) on everything from privacy to to-do lists. This is a big deal so go speak your mind or leave comments on this post.
