Have you looked at migrating from exchange to google apps? You know my favorite part? Telling all my users that the way they sort mail is "wrong" (google's word, not mine) and they need to reclassify everything with labels instead of folders.
They're not your typical coleman tents. Think canvas, and large enough to hold multiple people + workstations + table space. And like the other replies said, you'd cook otherwise..
When was the first time you ever heard of him?
I lean towards Microsoft, and his resignation was my first knowledge of him. And I'm their primary demographic, particularly for cloud services.
Last I heard, several hundred thousand people, including my company. You think anyone in the corporate world gives a crap about one employee leaving a vendor?
The last time our Microsoft reps came into my office and showed me total integration between voice, IM, and exchange between federated organizations and everything was seamless and worked flawlessly, including integration with their cloud offerings.
That was a week ago and it made everything google is doing look like a cheap knock-off (including google apps which looked great for a small hipster web company, but try telling 800 users they have to relearn basic email).
Man, I guess ol' MS is doing something right then too, seeing as how they clear almost double the net profit of apple. When did subjective, volatile stock prices became some sort of standard of real-world (not perceived) value? Aren't we geeks here who try to actually understand what numbers mean and be objective, rather than parroting out worthless numbers to imply apple dominance?

That's weird, I manage 1000 workstations (600/400 PC vs Mac), 10 X Servs (as they're generally called), 20 Linux (RHEL), and 100 windows.
Macs, hands down, are the single biggest use of my help desk techs and network admins time. We've even had about 20-30 people switch from windows to mac because its "what they prefer." Typically, that lasts less than a week before they come crying back for a PC (though to be fair, one stayed). If I could get rid of all of the workstations (since as far as I've seen there is *nothing* they can do that a PC can't), my expenses would DROP.
So I guess my anecdotal experience of Macs as the WWOS counteracts yours.
I don't know the details of the biometrics they are using, but my work laptop has a fingerprint scanner on it. You pretty much have to use your finger because it does shape recognition as well as the swirls. The print left by a finger full of soft tissue being pushed down is a lot different than the print of a bony knuckle being pushed down.

So they should do something like - http://www.microsoft.com/cloud ?

FPS on a PS3? No thanks. RTS on a PS3? No thanks. MMORPG on a PS3? No thanks. People with different opinions than yours != lemmings
