Brad Wilson on "How Microsoft plans to make its mark in CRM"

I loved this interview with Brad Wilson from the CRM team.

A few choice quotes:

Salesforce.com has a single operating model, which is that you rent it from them forever. Our software comes with a choice of either having an on-demand subscription offering or buying the software. If you talk to analysts today, they will tell you that, of all the CRM in use throughout the world, probably about 90 percent is deployed on the premises. We want to give our customers the choice. Whether you want to go on-premises or to a cloud-based offering, the choice is yours.

and
