Do you really think that Google will replace Microsoft and do the same job? I don't think so... In the last 15 years that I've been working full time with all sort of products (Microsoft, Apple, Google...), I can say that even if Microsoft's products are not necessarily the best products taken one by one, all together they are excellent.
I've been trying to work with Gmail myself to replace Exchange... this was the worst nightmare... for a small company, support is poor... sync does not work all the time... On the other side, Exchange/Outlook never failed on me... even if hosted, it always worked fine. it may be more expensive, but at least it works fine.
All my computers are Macs (MacBook Pro, Mac Pro.)... but I'm still using Microsoft products (Office 2011) to get the work done correctly...
There is a product that is distributed throught Mynix (see http://www.mynix.com ) in Canada... it is called e-space. Nearly the same size but you can get a PIII 850 in it...
see http://www.mynix.com/espace/index.html for more details.

For now, Microsoft/Office is here to stay...
