New GMail features showcase Google Docs

I've thought quite a bit recently about the feasability of going online 100% with hosted services, and I think it is possible with some planning and accepted frustration, but getting easier all the time.

I have a couple of domains that use Google Apps for email, and also have a space for docs and spreadsheets, and the ability to share docs easily (and the free email service) are quite valuable. Robert Scoble has mentioned that the company he is now part of does everything through gmail and shared google calendars, and I know it will only get easier. As much as I like Office 2007, what is Microsoft to do with these new services, where new features drop out of the sky every week?

Article below about some new features in Gmail... I'm not sure if gmail is out of beta yet, but if you'd like a GMail account, just leave a comment or email me and I will send you an invite.

Fugitive Thought -: "Gmail users receiving attached documents now have the ability to view them via Google Docs and Spreadsheets, which presents a sleek in-browser word processor interface. Emails arriving with a document attached will now display a 'open as a google document' in addition to the usual 'View as HTML' and 'Download' options. "
