I was on site at one of my clients, a top investment bank, and was surprised to see the guy I was visiting was using Google Apps for his work email. Turns out they were piloting it as a potential replacement for Lotus Notes (yikes). I don't think they actually decided to go with it, but the fact that a big firm would even consider a hosted solution for something like email -- especially in the financial sector, where there's constant obsession over security and regulatory compliance -- rocked my world a bit.
