Do all Google employees get gmail accounts?

yeah probably unlimited space, if they can afford to give people 1gb of free space they probably give their employees all the space they want.

I know someone that works for Google and she has an account. I bet they all get one to beta test.

I'm sure they got all the really good names too, like "mike@gmail.com"

Nope. 6 characters or more, letters, numbers and periods only as far as I know.

you know what I mean, they got michael@gmail.com and george@gmail.com and so on

I like the way they're rolling out the service, btw. It's a pretty good way to gradually get things up to speed; God only knows what would have happened had they just opened the flood gates after only a small beta group.

Just talked to my friend, who has a friend at Google. He says he has a firstname.lastname@google.com email adress.
