Federal Organizations

http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/government/trust.html The GSA itself is a Google Apps customer. NOAA also made news this year by moving over its 25,000 users.

I am talking about the federal government that may handle sensitive information - not local government. Where important things are done they do not use Google Apps. They use Microsoft Exchange for email and .DOCX for word documents.

NOAA is the federal government and is pretty important. Unless issuing tornado warnings and forecasting hurricanes is not important, that is.
