Google Apps to limit free accounts starting May 10th

Anyone looking to sign up for Google Apps for their start-up better do it now before they hobble it.  I currently have 4 start-up projects using it and it's really good.  Why any small business would pay for Microsoft Exchange is beyond me.  For under 50 users (and even beyond) Google Apps is great and the price is right ... FREE!!!

Hello,

We recently announced upcoming changes to the maximum number of users for Google Apps. We want to let you know that, as a current customer, the changes will not affect you.

As of May 10, any organization that signs up for a new account will be required to use the paid Google Apps for Business product in order to create more than 10 users. We honor our commitment to all existing customers and will allow you to add more than 10 users to your account for aaaaa at no additional charge, based on the limit in place when you joined us.

Sincerely,

The Google Apps Team
