Reading Mary Jo Foley’s Microsoft 2.0 it suddenly struck me: Could Microsoft’s next killer OS be SharePoint?
Instead of being quite so blatant, Microsoft has taken a quieter back route to achieving the same ends via two related technologies:
Baking SharePoint reliance into more and more of its products

dependent on ARPU but either a good channel is a requirement for success
for a software company.
