I am a huge fan of VMware!  I use it often, but outside my fathers engineering company I can not seem to convince many small businesses to use it.  However, I honestly believe virtualization is on of the greatest things I have seen develop over the last 10 years and I am exited to see where the next ten will lead us.

Other then Google apps? No.  I too would love to know. Their are some issues with Google apps, such as the fact that I can not get contact syncing working with a desktop client.  I have tried a number of products like GCalD but have not been able to get them to work with a Google apps account.  However, if you can stand using the web client and add the task function it is close enough for a number of people.

Google apps calendar syncs with lighting (mozilla calendar), outlook, and windows mobile using active sync (probably more).  It also syncs contacts on windows mobile and a few other things.  It didn't used to though.
I add a calendar even on my palm treo (windows mobile) and it magically appears on my google calendar.. and vice versa.
You can have up to 100 users without paying I believe.
 
 
I too am an accountant (no really I have degrees in accounting and CIS :) so I understand the lock to the windows world.  And trust me accounting products like Peachtree and timberline don't run well in wine.
 Run them in virtual box or vmware then :)
