I agree with Paul's analysis and associated conclusions. I would also add that when Google reaches the level of reliability attained by other SaaS like suppliers (SalesForce.com, etc.) then their gmail offering will become acceptable to the enterprise businesses.

Microsoft Virtualization Products Due In Thirty Days | www.informationweek.com
Microsoft's recent announcements in the virtualization arena prove that they are serious about their role in competing with VMware & Citrix: 1) Their new management tool for migrating Virtual Apps from one physical device to another (like VMware's VMotion) show that they continue to make progress but that they are still a long way from catching VMware in the technology arena. 2) Microsoft's strategy remains focused upon offering just enough virtualization services at a much lower cost for those that believe they don't require the functionality that's available from both the VMware and Ctirix's Xen products.

They both have capabilities to analyze and direct Data into predetermined and structured storage and processing domains. The translation of Data into meaningful Information for businesses are key value propositions.
