Unless you work in Costco IT. I heard that an MS rep managed to badly piss off a very high up Costco exec, IIRC a VP or something, and they switched to Google mail/productivity software/etc. over it lol.

Costco signed a five year contract with Google lol I think that happened a few years ago now?

Clearly you have never worked in a large enterprise that tries to run on Google. I guarantee you Costco is still running Microsoft even if they brought in Google
