If you ever managed to drop out of the "free" google apps classification (and I don't think I was the only idiot to mistakenly allow that to happen), google apps are not free.

I pay about $12/month to be able to use these things, which I regret only slightly less than not having the time to establish suitable alternatives.

I got Office 365 as I enrolled into university a couple of years ago in Australia, always thought most universities went with MS offerings.
