Sometimes, revolutionaries don’t make the best rulers. Such is the case with Google right now in the company’s deal to provide cloud-based e-mail for the city of Los Angeles.
Last year, Google won a landmark contract for cloud computing and against Microsoft by sealing a deal to replace LA’s old Groupwise e-mail system with a cloud-based system. It did so, in part, by looking young, hip and inexpensive in front of the LA city council, while Microsoft sent suits and old-school messages into the City of Angels.
