Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 26% likely to happen (down 9% in last 1 day)
Salesforce.com and Google have announced the integration of Google Apps (Docs, Calendar, Gmail, and Gtalk) and Salesforce’s online enterprise apps. Marc Benioff, Salesforce CEO said "You’ve seen what we have been doing is slowly integrating all of our services with theirs. Certainly the enemy of my enemy is my friend, which makes Google my best friend. I have spoken with a lot of customers who want to get off of Microsoft Word." There is clearly a lot of love there. Techcrunch asks the question, why not consumate the relationship? (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/13/more-details-on-the-google-salesforce-enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend-alliance/)
