Scoble gambling on Google

Dennis Howlett has laid a $500 bet at Scoble’s door following Robert’s “Google is making a run for the enterprise” post this week. I read the post and almost replied but Dennis did a way better job than I could have.

No question Google is looking to make in roads in to the enterprise - and will keep Microsoft and other enterprise players on their toes with new tactics – but Dennis hits some important points. Let’s take one of them

 

The environmental angle is interesting but again, IT has much larger fish to fry than worrying about the gas an Exchange server uses. Rather, they’re more likely to call up HP and see what they’re doing in virtualization to drive down operating cost. Despite the attention given to all things green, sadly I see little appetite to take ‘green’ seriously.

 

Or maybe just move their existing email system and all of its integration in to the cloud. Kinda like Coca Cola just agreed to with 75,000 users on Microsoft Online.
