      This Article points out how Google is starting to collect revenue from the previously free Google Apps.

      @unknownuser said:

      When Google Apps first launched in August 2006 it was free and described as โ€œa service available at no cost to organizations of all shapes and sizes.โ€

      Free for everyone lasted until February 2007, when Google announced a premier edition of the service with more storage and an uptime guarantee. The cost was (and is) $50 per user per year. (read more...)

      This is interesting to me, because I have always said (whether true or untrue - just my opinion) "Google could care less about the revenue from SketchUp Pro". Now I wonder if maybe they are thinking about other ways to generate revenue - besides advertising?
