Google has slipped the beta tag from its Gmail, Calendar, Docs and Talk apps in an effort to lure more businesses out of Microsoft and IBM’s clutches.

The company, which launched the Google Apps suite two years ago, announced the decision today.

Finally! I've had my GMail account pretty much since they were available, and I've never had any problems with it, it's been as stable as I've wanted it over the last five years or so...

I've never understood why it was left in "Beta" for so long anyway. :roll:

I remember when it was first released.

You needed an invitation to join it. :lol:

Yep, I even remember a website where people could offer to trade stuff/exchange money for a Google Mail invite!

Thankfully someone on a forum was offering them to fellow forumites once (and he only had 10!), and I was lucky enough to get one. I am one of the people lucky enough to get a "Gmail" address instead of a "googlemail" one. :)

The Googlemail tag is a legal technicality - all addresses will work if you enter @gmail............
