This really comes across as false advertising. They state that "Going Google" is changing to any of Google's services, then explain that this is e-mail, apps, documents, sites, etc. Then go on to say that 60% of Fortune 500 companies have Gone Google - implying that these companies use Google Apps - however initial explanation says that these people could just be using a Google Search Appliance; which has nothing to do with Google Apps.
I agree that this marketing technique is pretty sketchy
I'm looking forward to a video of all the boards combined. This is a very creative campaign. I use Google Apps as well :) Also, the music is pretty awesome too :P I'd so purchase it off of Amazon if it was there/I knew what it was called :)
It's kind of silly to claim that Microsoft = software upgrade costs. Yes, in the Google Apps hosted model, Google will absorb some of that cost - the cost of upgrading servers, deploying new versions, etc. - but the real cost is in compatibility and re-training as features are changed and added. Unless Google is saying they're never going to change their apps, company's and people will still pay those upgrade costs - they just don't get to control when they pay them, Google does.
When a company gets to a certain size, the lose their initial vision and can only rely on the corporate culture to keep any piece of that vision alive.
Google has entered this phase of group/corporation. No longer complacent to simply create applications that people want to use, they are now actively attempting to get people to switch to their applications.

This is mildly creepy. Just the wording or something. Just not sitting right.

Competitions is a sign of weakness.

You're just retarded and don't know how to use it. It's far better than Microsoft.
