I'm shocked! This would have been such an easy win for Google, but for some reason they have not integrated the google "office" apps into one holistic experience ... seems like if you built the browser and own the apps, then this would have really provided a "wow" factor and given proof of concept that chrome is truly better at running apps.

Instead, just like in safari and firefox, Chrome still keeps creating new and multiple tabs every time I bounce back and forth between calendar, gmail, and docs. The end result is that at the end of the work day, I have about 10 calendars open and 9 docs home pages (of course, this doesn't happen because I'm vigilant about closing them).

Doesn't chrome know these tabs are already open? Jeez, if you guys want to compete with MSOffice, this problem has to be solved. Nobody wants to continue paying microsoft, but we need a real alternative that works.

and it seems so easy to fix!

I bought one domain. Setup the admin account. Then bought another domain through the same process and set up an identically credentialed Username/Password. Now I'd like to use one Google Apps account over the other, but Google says that the domain that I own is already taken. How do I resolve this? Can't they just fold data into each other?

My spf record has been set for the last 24 hours as follows
v=spf1 mx a:mailhost.zen.co.uk -all
I'm using google apps so my MX records all point to Google and I occasionally have to send via my ISP Zen. Sending and receiving works but when I test sending a spoof email (pretending to be from my domain) from a non authorised IP address Gmail just flags the message as follows.

Received-SPF: softfail (google.com: domain of transitioning testmessage@mydomain.co.uk does not designate xxx.xxx.142.162 as permitted sender) client-ip=xxx.xxx.142.162;

Why is Gmail only treating this as a soft fail and not a hard as -all indicates?

Hah it gets worse!

Now gmail sees my spoof test from an unauthorised ip address as a hard fail but still delivers the message to me. Surely hard fail means reject or at least put in spam bin.

Received-SPF: fail (google.com: domain of test@mydomain.co.uk does not designate xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx as permitted sender)
