I have officially switched off of microsoft office suite and am now a dedicated google user. More specifically, I use their products instead of Microsoft Outlook -- which I used to love. The transition hasn't been without its bumps. But overall, I'm happy with the switch. That said, I'd be happier if there was a phone or blackberry that actually integrated tightly with Google mail and calendar. Opportunity? I think so.
This makes me think of the rumor that I heard that google was going to buy apple. I loved that rumor.
Cool, but how do you deal with PowerPoint and modeling in Excel?
I like the Google products, but it can't keep up with Excel in doing modeling and metrics.

Apple is going to buy Google - not the other way around : )
Now with Numbers, I am 100% Apple + Web Apps (Google, 37Signals). Feels very good and it's much less expensive to start a business without MSFT.

in the short term, google has pretty good support for mobile devices.
* email -- if you are trying to read your gmail account, check out http://www.google.com/mobile/mail/index.html

* calendar -- just navigate to calendar.google.com on your phone
