Why the downvotes? I consider the wanton use of Google Apps also dangerous for startups who may be competing in a space that Google is curious in. I don't believe that Google would read through anyone's emails (mostly because I'm comfortable that 99.99% of Google Engineers/Operations people are good people) but I'm still aware that I leave that decision at their mercy. Think about the things that go through e-mail, Powerpoint strategy decks, git commit messages (not too hard to recreate an entire git repo from the procession of messages being sent) etc. You have to be really careful about who gets access to that kind of information.
