Indeed, the Microsoft offering is much better. We've never sold the 
Google service but one of our competitors has but I heard the other day 
from one of their customers that they are dropping Google in favour of 
Microsoft. I have to say as a business user Office 365 is just awesome 
and so reliable.

As a side note, we provide support to the UK office of an Australian 
company, they use Google. We are always having to deal with sync issues 
for signatures, it's horrible and unreliable. The built in Microsoft 
solution and the add on Exclaimer work 100%.
