Will Salesforce.com be sold soon? I keep hearing rumor after rumor and some say Marc Benioff is getting bored. i haven’t had time to reach out to Marc but I thought it worth sharing the news. Likely purchasers would be Oracle, SAP and Microsoft.

I doubt antitrust regulators would get that concerned if even Oracle made the acquisition based on the lack of actions they have taken in virtually all other acquisitions that seem anticompetitive.

I cannot be more impressed with what Salesforce.com has done to date and as an independent company they have been an excellent counterbalance to  some of the major software players in the space.

It would be a real shame if the company is sold as I get the feeling the passion will leave the company in such a situation.
