What I want to know is how you get all your Outlook data into Google? I looked not so long ago for synchronisation applications and they all failed in one way or another:
1. They cost money.
2. They flat out didn't work.
3. They couldn't handle two way synchronisation and resolving of conflicts.
4. They couldn't handle reoccurring appointments correctly (some even converted them into multiple single appointments - which caused havok when you wanted to apply a change to all of them).
Until that is sorted out, I'm sticking with something else.

An excellent question/point! I had to migrate all my Outlook data to OS X the hard way about 14 months ago (hard, being a virtual machine and a program I paid $12 for) and I looked into just migrating to Google at that time and ran into the same issues. Last time I checked, most of the key Outlook Calendar issues were taken care of (not true for Entourage 2008 for Mac, but iCal and gCal can now play nice, so that's at least an option) and there is even a way to import all your mail directly into a Google Apps account.
I'll look into this though, and also cover the new Exchange programs for Exchange synching that have just become available. My university e-mail just became an Exchange account (so I use OWA) and I still have all my Outlook 2007 data files, so I have a good testing base.
