Crazy rumour

Word on the street is that Microsoft is going to buy (a stake) in Siebel. Why? 1) Microsoft has no channel to sell into enterprise, and Siebel is quite good at that and 2) Microsoft needs an application that will drag .NET into enterprise, and Siebel's CRM apps will do that. Look for what billg announces at the upcoming Siebel conference (Oct 20-23).
