Re: Google Apps for Education

That is a great problem with GAfE: you have to have a true gmail account to
use the full suite of applications.
I would love if Google could provide a unique interface where I could just
go to gmail, type in the user account my
username@maildomainhostedbygoogle.org and take advantage of all Google
Apps...

They are still working on stuff but as far as I can see, they are mostly
working on how to make money...and I cannot blame them for that, really...
