Google Apps Appeal

When most think people of Google, they picture free apps and services supported by ads. But a lot of Google wares have real price tags, including the enterprise version of Google Apps.

Many customers are apparently going with Google, not because of the cloud and access from anywhere, but because it's so cheap.
