The real comparison should be done between MS Exchange Server and the Google Premier Apps Email.

Exchange is out of market now. Welcome G-Apps Premier Emails.

You seem to be forgetting a very large part in the Google Apps Premium.

The actual EMAIL-server. Get Exchange and put it in the hardware you need to buy, configure, backup and so forth…

The price is considerably higher than only the office-package…

I will not stop using my office-package but the mailserver-service is quite a lot cheaper than hosting it on exchange yourself.

In many thing I agree Google Apps BUT competition for Exchange NOT Office. My bet is Google Apps will move towards file synchronization… and you will be able to do that through the API…. and the API is the key.. not the AJAX interface.

For example we are developing an FREE open source “business application platform” (think salesforce.com). Our first application is working tightly integrated with GOOGLE APPS. Check it out if you are interested. http://www.applicationexchange.com

The Google APPs (with its API) is the organic counterpart to Microsoft/BT marketplace… http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-6161402.html.

The heat is on.
