Microsoft, IBM feel heat from Google Apps - Network World

This was from the panel Mike Gotta and I moderated yesterday; see the article for more details.  Thanks again to the panelists for their insights. 

Microsoft and IBM executives Wednesday admitted feeling heat from Google now that the Web search giant is trying to make inroads into the enterprise market with its hosted suite of communication and collaboration tools.

Google Apps, a hosted service, is gaining traction primarily in universities but is a welcome addition to enterprise software because of its simplicity and ease of use, said Rob Curry, director of Microsoft’s Office business platform group, during a panel discussion today at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston.
