This is largely a technology demo, but we think it's pretty neat. Curious if anyone here has thoughts about where to take this from here. And yes, using SSN a

  An undo button would be neat in case I accidentally type-in rather than cut-paste, then end up losing what I manually deleted. (I didn't read the instructions, as you can tell!)

    You can always copy and paste from the From row, but this probably isn't obvious.

  > where to take this from here Your only goal should be to try and sell yourselves to Microsoft as quickly as possible. While clever, the central idea is trivial to replicate. Try obtaining as much of a legal protection as possible. You have a year from your initial public disclosure to file a patent application. This will run you at about 10-15k, but will greatly increase your chances of a technology acquisition. If in doubt about the patent, consider the fact that once a variation of this gets into the next Excel version or a service pack, your customer base will go to zero. Definitely drop the SaaS model, this is the worst application of it ever. Virtually all business data is confidential, copy-pasting it around random web servers is not encouraged to put it mildly. It is a nice idea and it is certainly a neat tech demo. Your best bet in my opinion is to try and sell the actual technology bit.
