Regardless of what you think about SAP, the fact remains that there are an overwhelming majority of companies who are pretty damn happy about their choice with regard to enterprise software. I've spent 8 years of my life here and if I believe that was in the service of "raping companies" I would have never lasted past the first day. When you make statements like this you are not only insulting SAP as a company, but me and everyone else associated with the company. Dennis,

GOOG has been downright crap at sorting out issues around Blogger. It's a great place to start but it's not a great place to stay. Just how much dev will they put into Writely? That's a genuine fear on my part. Writely needs taking forward but if all they're trying to do is buy brains, then it will wither and fail. At least when SAP rapes companies it puts something back into its own products. This is worrying on a broader level. GOOG has been downright crap at sorting out issues around Blogger.
