I got the impression from a single conversation I had with Google back in January (please take this as the single data point it is), that they really did re-route the entire organization to focus on Google+, and were prepared to scale back efforts on Google Apps for at least a few months. For reference, the conversation was about them seeking 3rd party vendors to fill in the gaps in their offerings.

True that Outlook has excellent task management functionality, but not when you want to interact with non-outlook users, or even simply across corporate networks.
On the same note, I've been hoping that Google would flesh out Google Tasks for a while now -- technically Tasks ties in with Gmail and Google Calendar already, but that integration is fairly primitive, and Tasks is still missing extremely basic things like search, labels, and a usable (non-widget) UI in Gmail. Of all the projects Google is letting stagnate, this one hurts me the most. I could make great use of it if it were more complete.
