Just wait until Microsoft buys Slack.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoWhy not Oracle or Salesforce? I think Salesforce would be a natural fit, but would love for Oracle to do it just to watch the tech community freak out.
- astrodust 8y agoBuying Oracle would be a welcome relief, but it's unlikely to happen. Oracle's culture is just too different from modern Microsoft to ever work. Salesforce would be an interesting acquisition. Maybe they could merge that in with their Dynamics division, perhaps shunted under Azure.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoMy apologies. I meant Oracle or Salesforce acquiring Slack.
- tzakrajs 8y agoSalesforce is $100B company with over 30,000 employees. MSFT would be insane to try and absorb them.
- astrodust 8y agoMicrosoft a decade ago would absorb. Today they'd acquire and let it run quasi-independently.
- WorldMaker 8y agoThey tried, started building Teams only after they were rebuffed.
