GMail for Business?

GMail has been out for a long time now and many businesses have made the transition across to use it full time. With calendaring, contacts and emails it can be an online version of your own desktop email system and all the maintenance work such as backups are done by someone else. But for some the Outlook interface is the one of choice and it also gives you the option to work offline which just isn't the case with GMail. However you can download a sync tool which now provides all the interactivity between your online GMail account and your Outlook application. This only applies if you are using Google Apps Premier or Education and used properly can negate the need for a expensive Exchange server. Microsoft must surely be losing some of their customer base.
