Or will Microsoft's attention turn elsewhere? The SearchITChannel.com staff discusses the latest news in the ongoing saga, then welcomes Zach Church, news writer for SearchCIO-Midmarket.com. He just returned from SAP Sapphire '08 in Orlando, Fla., with news on Business ByDesign's slow start and SAP's new partnerships with Hewlett-Packard and IBM.
