I am not interested in a partnership with any premium being put on the services available through G. I too read about this a few months ago though cant remember where. This in all reality would be a huge acquisition for G and the amount of services they could offer. It would also raise more flags about the amount of information that they have access to and can control. I'm all for it though, their takeover of Urchin/Picassa/etc was great for everyone.

I work for neither company, just have very good connections at one. The lawyers have been hashing out the partnership for 3 months +, essentially they are working an APEX play for Google-Office and potentially SDFC integration with GOffice externally.

SalesForce is used by a tremendous amount of companies. I might hint that Google is interested in expanding it's business services beyond mail and docs, and actually start offering in-depth products. At least, that would seem more logical than SalesForce wanting to integrate Google mail and docs into a proprietary platform like AppExchange. Why is this a snoozer?
