> I imagine that Google wants to roll this out to Apps users before general Gmail users.

That'll be a first. Historically, Google has deeply neglected Apps users. My Apps account didn't get G+ until almost a year after it became generally available.

That's a funny way of looking at it. I pay Google money for my account so that I have, above all, a reliable system to use for my business.

No beta bullshit. And with Google Apps, that's what I get.

Regular users are the guinea pigs and once a feature has proven itself year(s) later, it's added to Apps. As someone who runs a business, I'm quite happy with that approach.

I get all the latest and greatest on my personal GMail account, I don't need it on my business account.


Good point. I think in the days before Google starting charging for Apps, many of the users were the tech-head-early-adopter crowd. Which is why many were so disappointed that they got all the new innovations last.

I think everyone would be happier if Apps users could signal to Google they would like to be a 'new features beta tester'.


Yup - Google hardens consumer for the enterprise.


I believe the google apps administrator has the ability to set whether new features should be enabled instantly, or delayed.


Yes, but I AM the administrator for the Google Apps account associated with my personal domain. It's not a matter of not having enabled it; G+ simply wasn't available.


Google Now still doesn't support a lot of cards for Apps accounts either.
