U. of Pennsylvania Switches Its E-Mail Service to Microsoft
After a negotiation process that lasted months, the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Arts and Sciences and Wharton School have decided to replace their campus Webmail system with a commercial service provided by Microsoft.
Campus officials had planned to settle on a new service, run by either Microsoft or Google, by the end of January, according to The Daily Pennsylvanian. Microsoft finally won out because it promised the university more exclusive features — including e-mail, Web hosting, and instant messaging — than Google, which offered the tools native to its popular Gmail service. —Brock Read
