Marc Benioff Chats with Schonfeld & Gillmor

On the heals of Dreamforce's massive San Francisco-based event (touted as the cloud computing event of the year), TechCrunch's Real-Time CrunchUp had Marc Benioff on stage today -- a joint interview by Erick Schonfeld and Steve Gillmor.

Entertaining and provocative as always, he avoids direct answers to acquisition interest, touts their growing numbers, and complains about Microsoft's lack of features.

And, of course 'it's all in the book,' his latest which he references on more than one occasion: Behind the Cloud: the untold story of how salesforce.com went from idea to billion-dollar company -- and revolutionized an industry.
