"Prior to signing up, estimates gathered regarding the expense of an e-mail system to serve our 160,000 alumni had ranged from $250,000 to $700,000 per year, depending on the level of service." – O'Neal Smitherman, VP of IT and CIO, Ball State University

"To create a system similar to Windows Live @ edu for our university’s 15,000 students would be at least £50,000. If I can get a company like Microsoft to run a professional, state-of-the-art e-mail system for me and to do it for free—that’s really a no-brainer, isn’t it?" – Les Watson, Pro-Vice Chancellor, Glasgow Caledonian University
