Will be interesting to see how they do.  Anyone use Box for online file storage, or do you use Dropbox or something else?

Word on the street is that this is a play to save the company as competitors eat its lunch. It's buring cash very quickly.
 
Box.net has really good enterprise goodies, but Microsoft's OneDrive Business abilities are getting pretty cool. It's expensive for more storage at $2.40GB/yr once you need more than 25GB+ per user though. Ever since Google started offering 100GB for $5/yr (far less than cost) they may need to reduce prices, but Micorosoft's offerings are far more powerful.
 
Right now I'm using Office 365 Enterprise E3 for my personal usage, and it is absolutely amazing in its power.
