Google finally scraped the five-year-old “beta” tag off it’s popular Gmail service. From being perpetually in beta, to becoming a set of enterprise tools Google’s App suite has finally gone gold.

The collection of technology (some built in-house and some acquired from other service providers like writely back in 2006) has become a key part of Google’s strategy to index the world’s information by providing a way to make Google a first-hand provider and storer of that information.

There were no real major releases with the removal of the beta designation, just a feeling from many that the big “G” must be working on something else at their Mountain View, CA campus.
