Intel Announces Web 2.0 Suite

Intel recently annouced that is is putting together a software suite to bring Web 2.0 to the business enterprise 
 
See http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-6133294.html for more info, but we provide a short excerpt here:
"Called SuiteTwo, the package will include software from Six Apart, Socialtext, NewsGator and SimpleFeed. These are small software companies that provide applications for blogs, RSS feeds, wikis and social networking . . . To accelerate their use, Intel decided to assemble these applications into a single suite and to contract SpikeSource to integrate and support the offerings."
According to the article, the price point for the enterprise will be $175-$200 per user per year, which includes regular updates.  In our view this means that there is an opportunity for competition in this space especially for those looking to work with SMBs that may find the outlay per year to be too large to consider.
