I give Microsoft 1 year or until the next release of Outlook Professional. By that time they will either buy Xobni or copy the functionality.

On a related note, you can see Bill Gates as one of the contacts of the test guy in the video.

You may be overestimating their speed. MS has very long cycles. If the features aren't already being developed, then they are unlikely to appear for a long time. Meanwhile, Xobni will keep getting better.
