It will NOT be disclosed :-( Bill - You are correct too, unless one of us goes and creates a stellar solution like SoftGrid! :-) I wish I knew. SFT had 63Mil in VC dollars, so I think Microsoft paid 200 plus million for it... maybe 400? I don't know.. no clue.. I would LOVE to know though... Douglas A.

If everything is approved then Softricity becomes part of Microsoft. No it is not, "to get it out of the way" Microsoft is taking the entire company. Not just tabling it.
