Moving forward: I realize that Google may not be a perfect alternative for everyone.
They used to say, that you should never put all your eggs in one basket. These days, the trade off is sometimes difficult to decide (the baskets are moving around) My own choice is to stay as as close to 'open source' as possible.....
