We migrated 63 users and pretty much everyone is very happy with the new system. It was totally worth it to us - even the people who really liked Outlook are using Google with no complaints or issues!

We are looking at Google Apps very closely, with the Enterprise at about $50/user per year. We use Exchange, but also use Postini (Spam/Virus filter) which with about 75 users is another couple hundred bucks a month. It would be nice to get it all under one roof with Google Apps. With licensing and a Spam/Virus filter it is WAY over that per year for the next version of Exchange. Have you had any more push back from your Outlook users? Roughly how many users did you migrate?

I did check with my director before sending this off and he was perfectly fine with me going into detail about the financial details!

Just out of my personal curiosity, I'd like to see those numbers if you could share them. (Point of disclosure: I work for Google but this post is not related to my job in any way.)
