Got this email today asking me to attend this webinar next month:

Live Webcast: Evaluating Cloud Solutions: Insights from an Early Adopter 
of Google Apps and Microsoft BPOS
(Source is Microsoft)

http://webcasts.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1931015&promo=99&trial=25333225&tag=nl.e099

Overview: Serena Software, a leading software company in the application 
development and governance market, made headlines in 2008 when it 
decided to migrate all of their 600 employees from Microsoft Exchange to 
Google Apps. After months of user dissatisfaction, content loss and poor 
support, the company decided to make a full migration off of Google Apps 
to Microsoft's Business Productivity Online Suite. Since then, user 
confidence has returned, IT has once again become a trusted partner, and 
the company can increase their focus on their core business.
----------------------------------

When I saw BPOS, I must admit that I thought of Big Piece of Sh!t. 
There *is* an expected level of confidence with many MS users.  I 
remember trying to get my (now ex-) wife and daughter to use openOffice 
instead of Word -- you'd have thought I was asking them to write with 
pen and paper...such resistance!  In the same light, I'm sure many users 
at Serena were happy to be using MS again.

Do you know of companies using Google Apps and who are very happy with it?
