Microsoft + LinkedIn == True

Todays biggest news in the Microsoft sphere is of course that Microsoft is to aquire LinkedIn for the
astronomical sum of $26.2 billion. This is hopefully great news for us in the Dynamics CRM world as LinkedIn have during the last couple of years been very protective of their data by not opening up, even with payed subscriptions, their API:s for integrations.

Imagine how cool CRM married with LinkedIn data looped through Azure ML would be when trying to find out how to get a good entry point on a opportunity. And that's just the beginning. Let's see what Microsoft does with this. They have a few dollors of synergy to win back.
