Marc Benioff is at it again

In this interview with TechnologyLive.com, he absolutely assaults IBM and Microsoft and characterizes both companies as having “done a terrible job over the last decade”.

Some of the gems from the interview:

TL: Surely you’re not ruling out Microsoft and IBM in this emerging space?

Benioff: No. I’m not ruling out Microsoft and IBM, but they have done a terrible job over the last decade. That’s just material fact. Certainly their investors have paid the price for their inability to innovate and their attempts to try to hold on to the old paradigms instead of innovating aggressively in the Internet. It’s not about Microsoft or IBM; they’re just trying to figure out how they can tactically catch up.

Also a great description of Cloud 2.o:

TL: Where do you see this going in the next year or two?

Benioff: We are entering the second generation of cloud computing, call it Cloud 2.0. It’s about enabling a whole new level of capabilities for business users delivered on the next generation of BlackBerries, iPhones and iPads. It’s about all these cloud services providing a greater level of collaboration, social computing, communication, entertainment and information management.
