Let's talk about how this partnership isn't as bad as it may sound. And let's think about how it could even create new opportunities for Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Hi Jason, Nicely put together. I think we agree completely on this. Microsoft is seeking to reduce customer flows to competitors and all they have to do is meet Salesforce at the table. As I mention in my blog, this could damage Dynamics CRM partner-direct sales but it is a battle to win a bigger war and, even then, casualties will be low I believe. Leon Tribe
