Call me when they have something other than a demo. If this demo was from Google, I could see it happening. But not from MSFT, specially if it more expensive (we don't know) to implement this and if there is no near term profit making potential. Thats, in my opinion, how MSFT works.
On the other hand, if there is something cool developed by Google, they will implement it and think about making money later (if it gains traction). Not necessarily because they are altruistic, but because thats how they work.
You will never see something like Google Wave coming out of MSFT; where Google obviously invested a lot of money, opened it up (mostly) for everyone to do what they want and after more than one year in no money is being made and unlikely to be profitable any time soon, if ever.
