Some clarity from Redmond would be very helpful both now and in the long term. Some questions may simply be too difficult to answer– for instance, will they support a migration path from the Yammer cloud into Wave 15 (or more realistically, Wave 16) Office/SharePoint cloud and/or on-premise applications? I think Wave 15 is highly unlikely, but what’s the direction down the road?

I look forward to seeing an actual annoucement and hope that Microsoft is clear about the positioning of the product.

Thanks for the comment, Jeff! It does seem to point to something beyond the Office Division being a driver. A lot of folks are talking about some Frankenstein’s Monster of Yammer + Dynamics CRM being positioned to take on SalesForce + Chatter.

I also struggle to understand the timing on this one. Why now, when SharePoint 2013 is nearly baked? Why not buy Yammer 1 year ago? Surely they would have rejoiced at a 1B valuation.
