Short interview with Kagermann in the Comical Chronicle. What is really staggering about the interview is that it focuses on SAP's strategy of growing organically (organic = good, who doesn't love "organic" if anything for the marketing imagery of the word itself?), and the reporter doesn't even ask the question "hey you say you aren't growing by acquisitions but you just announced the acquisition of Virsa, what's up with that?". This is why people are reading blogs more and newspapers less.

PS- Shai has a great response to the question I posed above. In asserting that SAP is acquiring edge vs. core, he says, “It’s hard to buy half a heart.”

UPDATE: Dan Farber posted a much more detailed version of the conversation between Kagermann, Apotheker, and Agassi.
