I just Googled "using google apps" and came up with 44,200,000 results. There are a lot of articles explaining how good Google Apps is and then there were also many warning against using it.

In todays environment where Cloud Computing is the new child on the block you would think that people would be looking much more seriously at such options as Google Apps. Google certainly make it easy to throw everything into the cloud.... but what are the guarantees of it being safe from data lose and remaining forever private to the people who set it up?
