Microsoft Dead

I love troublemakers and Marc Benioff is first rate. He wrote an essay to his employees about Microsoft's announcement of Microsoft Live -- software as service versions of its applications software. His point of view is blatantly self promoting, which is what makes it so delicious, since Microsoft's is the same. He's talking about Microsoft CRM, formerly a licensed application that came in versions 1.2 and 3.0 but is going to be (any day now) Microsoft CRM Live: "Microsoft has a new version called "Live."  It's the new on demand offering that will not be compatible with the current product line.  So, perhaps they should rename their entire Microsoft software product line, Microsoft Dead.  It's the analog to Microsoft Live, the new on demand offering that does not even exist."
