I know that there are certain docs that I might be willing to collaborate on, but there are certain documents that just should not be shared unless you know the environment is completely secure. A combination of Salesforce and Google might be interesting though. I guess the only problem is how much of your business are you willing to move online.

But the great thing about a company like Microsoft is that it adapts to the external environment and that is why it is successful. Take Xbox for example. People counted them out from day one. But they took advantage of a few Sony missteps and that led to success. Some things they don't do well (search)...but when it comes to software, they have the intellect(and cash) to do whatever it takes to stay on top.
