On Tuesday, the company unveiled Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook. With it, users don’t have to switch from the familiar Microsoft Outlook interface for calendar, contacts, and e-mail functions. They can continue to use Outlook while connecting directly to Google’s servers. It eliminates the need for an Exchange mail server to be in the loop.

Exchange Killer?? I mean, cmon!! It will take more than a bug ridden, partial featured Google “plug in” to kill Exchange. It isn’t much even as far as Outlook syncing plugins go.Outlook plugin, HyperShare from HyperOffice is much better in terms of features (task synching in addition to synching for email, contacts, calendars) and stability (no bugs in two years). They at least have the humbleness to call themselves an “Exchange Alternative” – a substitute for small businesses looking for a cheaper option to Exchange. “Exchange Killer”??? No WAYY!
