They don't have the cash MSFT does. As a matter of fact last time I looked they were still losing money. If I remember correctly and you look at their most recent 10k, they lost a couple hundred million (not 100% sure). It's one of those companies that brings in 6 billion in revenue but profits are elusive. It's been 17 years so you got to wonder what's going on? They are valued at 55 billion.

MSFT paid cash. I have no idea where CRM would come up with that kind of dough.
