Its still clunky. Consider alternatives like Zimbra which has more features than Outlook and scales much better for example. I use hosted Gmail for my businesses. It works great. I have no headache of administration. I am very excited about the Google Gears development. Imagine what will happen when they deploy it to interface with Gmail. At that point I can get rid of my 3rd party software that downloads Gmail for offline access. We are approaching a point where businesses will simply deploy a browser with some extensions and everything will be web-based. I like to follow that model as it is easiest for me to administer my users. This will be big and I fully expect some work with vendors such as Salesforce.com and other hosted app providers. This is a huge step in the application space. Google HUGE! Microsoft will just come up with a bastardized version of their existing products such as web outlook. Its still clunky.

Google's technology is incredible and fast. I think this will get Microsoft running to improve their products.
