The googlers I've talked to have said they use gmail and google docs internally.

You're joking, right?

Google uses its own products. They live in GMail and Calendar.

Gmail runs on the Google GFE/1.3 server, which is hosted on a Linux Operating System. See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail

I work at a 10K+ employee company which is moving over to gMail, gCalendar, gTalk and gDocs.

gMail and gCal are a potent combination.

Why do you care what products Google uses internally? Without knowing anything about your intended use case, Google are likely facing a pretty different set of requirements, and they probably have a very different set of resources (e.g. they obviously have a lot of in-house expertise on how the Google Apps suite works).
