| Benioff did not say what Dell servers or operating system Salesforce.com will
| run, citing competitive reasons. It's likely, though, Salesforce.com is
| running Linux.

Marc Benioff's mantra: Anything but Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| I think Microsoft is still a dinosaur. More than ever, it tries to hold onto
| its monopolistic position around technology that they hold, whether it's SQL
| Server, whether it's NT, whether it's Windows, whether it's Office--these are
| their cash cows they don't want slaughtered.

Marketing hype aside, Apex is Salesforce.com's response to open source.
,----[ Quote ]
| Nick thinks it's big news, and I do, too. It's big because it offers
| customers a way to customize hosted applications, rather than running
| them "as is." The myth has been that companies don't want to customize
| software. The reality is that they emphatically do. Salesforce.com's
| traditional customer base (SMEs) did not. Its big Fortune 500
| companies definitely do.
