Enterprise IM dies
The big guys are out. AOL quits enterprise IM game | CNET News.com And Yahoo did earlier. They haven't built enough business and have found it is harder to monitize than they thought. I predicted something like this because AOL and Yahoo are not software companies. They don't really understand how to build software and deliver it to the enterprise. Glad I didn't invest in any of those IM companies last year. This is good news for Microsoft who DOES know how to make enterprise class software. Get ready to buy Microsoft's RTC server....
