Microsoft big wigs did their best Tuesday to convince ISVs to work their application magic atop yet another part of the Microsoft stack.

Microsoft Business Solutions COO Orlando Ayala told ISVs gathered at Microsoft that the company needs them to create specialized vertical applications atop its core offering.
