Gmail is great for webmail, but its not a replacement for Outlook, especially if you rely heavily on contacts, calendar, tasks, or search.

Really? I find Google Apps to be better in all four of those categories, especially search. What makes Outlook superior in those categories?

Outlook's market share isn't directly correlated to its capabilities. Many large organizations force their employees to use Outlook as their corporate standard.

Outlook searches within attachments. GMail doesn't.
