For our purposes, we’re just on the Standard edition because it meets our needs and doesn’t require a lot of paperwork to be sent back and forth. :)

When you're on the Business page, there's a very small bit of text that says "Not a business? Explore Standard Edition" with a link to the Standard Edition. It used to be quite a bit easier to get to that edition, but it doesn't actually make money for Google. :) Guess I should have checked that a little more and thought I’d included it in my notes.

We've been using it for some time now and it works wonderfully. It provides our power users with an awesome webmail and calendaring experience with mobile device support and our less tech-savy users just use Outlook and don't know the difference. We're even beginning to use the Google Calendar API for our next website to pull event information from a Google Calendar and post it to our Special Events page on our website. Also, make sure you check out the Push Calendar and Push Contacts support that they've added for phone's that support Exchange, its pretty snazzy too!
