Shoot, I promised my son I would play with starting at 3pm. Oh well. James, I am sure you know I wasn't attacking you article. You guys know how much I respect Redmonk. This coming from a guy who hates VC's and Analysts. The reason I stopped reading was I was only trying to figure out what the argument was. With that, I have read the complete article and I agree with you about SAP v. IBM/MS. I agree IBM is not looking at what's really going on, unless they are hiding it real well. SAP is about two acquisitions from seriously changing the game. IBM is silently preparing for battle with SAP with their Maximo acquisition (IMHO) to compete with SAP as they look today. By the time (if) they get there SAP might look completely different. Last month I had some fun by just being silly with this post http://www.johnmwillis.com/wp/utility-cloud-computing/let%e2%80%99s-party-2008-utility-cloud-computing/ It will be fun to get to watch what happens in 2008.
