This is a very interesting article. Leo Apoteker, a 60 years old SAP CEO, discusses his vision of the IT future on the whole and particularly ERP market. Also I knew SAP released several products for small and middle business. I believe Microsoft will try to avoid straight-line collisions with SAP but how long will they succeed in this? Microsoft should strengthen its effort otherwise it will be too late.
Some comments are available here.

The books and authors are known. Someone can ask, why "Information Law" is amongst. It is obvious IT penetrates deep into our life and I believe the need in the legal control will only increase.
Today I've participated in MS seminar devoted to S+S paradigm. This time they were much closer to the point of view I have :) As I wrote before I was surprised to hear S+S concept has MS implementation through SPLA program only! I think the reason for that was "Platform for Web Hosters" as a topic then.
Meanwhile the major material can be found in post of Gian Paolo. The speaker has unlikely added more, unfortunately...
