Assuming the market exists, it seems like the biggest challenge here is getting potential customers to trust you enough to send you highly sensitive information.
Your terms and conditions, while fairly standard in my experience, don’t exactly go a long way to instill this trust.
How do you plan on addressing this?

Yes… me too, but more than 5 months the post was published.

I hope you’re right. But why shouldn’t Google say that now, when they want people to enter data?

Hi. I think Google’s momentum will keep the stock steady for some time, but man–it’s bound to burst/crash/or split, at least. Personally, I’m patiently awaiting the split so I can *finally* afford some google stocks.

Comment on The Microsoft Office I Really Want by dru

All excellent point, I really like the thought of a database that exists with in Metro documents for storing data. Then these documents can pull and share that data and be updated when the data changes. I would also like to see the ability to add SparkLines to my document. We already have excellent graphing stuff with Excel, lets make it so we can use smaller charts as well. -dru

Chris, I looked into Salesforce.com six months ago and Multiforce didn’t exist then. I’ll have another look. There’s indeed some talk of a collision course with MS Office at some point.
Brian, I’ll wait and see.
John, good question, I don’t know the answer (I’m not keeping up with these things very closely though). Since Microsoft is heavily invested in SQL Server and all sorts of database technologies, they’re as well placed as anyone to figure it out.
