No comment on GP, since we don't use it.
We have a client where we send a file to GP with PO data and get a file for
Invoices. GP can easily import and export data, so you shouldn't feel 'locked
in' to any solution...

I don't think that GP comes with any EDI built in. The people selling it will
probably recommend something that they are familiar with. I'm sure that
Microsoft can also sell you a BizTalk connector...
