After four years of vibrant debate, the fastforwardblog has meant a lot to people inside and outside of fast. Along with the conferences, this blog brought like-minded people together. Read through the archives, including the very first month's blogposts which included an interview with John Lervik. So much of what he and Bjorn, and others' have said have become reality in the enterprises of 2011. So congrats on the blog for always being ahead-of-its-time.

But if FAST had made good (or was making good) on the lofty revenue goals they spoke of at FAST Forward 2007, would they have sold to Microsoft?
