I Tell yOu, I Saw This Coming

On Sunday I alluded to the fact that as Microsoft begins to roll out relationships with companies like Nortel the startup companies playing in the same space of business federation just got pushed farther behind the eightball.

I feel sorry for any Series B or C investors who may have recently put money into a company trying to play the federation game thinking they were onto something big, only to see that the Goliaths of the world have already beaten them to the punch.
