What amazes me is just how bad the politics in MS must be to not swat Slack aside like a fly.

Slack is basically an IRC server with bots. Office communicator / Msn messenger/ whatever it is now / is installed on every Windows / office machine and ties into the moat used apps in the world.

MS-Slack ought to have "Mary just updated the Walmart contract" messages flinging around every marketing department in the world.

The fact it does not is testament to how far Giants can fall (in the 80s and 90s Microsoft would have already danced on Slacks grave).

Larry And Sergey need to study Microsoft a lot more carefully than "it was Ballmers fault" to try and avoid the same fate.
