It's helped step up security for both government and regular users like you and me. @David, ah right, thanks for the correction, I updated it.

I'd love to see their privacy policy and how they anticipate Google meeting it for the protection of PII and PHI, along with any other financial data they will be transmitting and managing within this open environment. Hopefully, they've given sufficient consideration to the commingling of their workers information with that of all of the other GOOGLE users on backup tapes, etc when Google runs routine backups of data. Not saying I think it's a bad idea, would just REALLY be interested in seing how they've addressed these issues, along with their emergency maangement needs and vital records protection issues.
