FYI: the Offline option gives you access to your accounts, contacts, and opps when you are completely disconnected. I can then synch it back with salesforce when my connectivity comes back.
There are also wireless access options (Blackberry, PalmOS, etc.)
We had problems and our admin got in touch with our SFDC account rep. They can worked with us to make sure we were getting the most out of SFDC.
We learned that the SFDC Account and Support Reps use SFDC off the same servers you do, and experience the same level of performance you do... and they can still do their job well... What do you think explains the discrepancy between your experience and theirs.
The salespeople don't, and don't need to lie. They have 9500+ clients and 140,000+ users to date to back them up.
Since the salesforce.com licensing is done with a subscription model, signing up a customer and walking away is not an option. The customer has to be satisfied to remain a customer.
There is so much functionality offered out of the box (customization by drag&drop of fields (no programming), creating reports on any data on the fly, automated charting, super secure and flexible security model) that this product kicks butt compared to the other players in the space.

Siebel is scared.
This story cannot be true. You can always just go month-to-month and pay $65/user.
Plus there is no cost everytime you want your data in a csv.

Renumeration has been addressed. It is aparently no longer 2.0, but 2.0.1.
However, this does not address any Remuneration!
