Holy Cow!
You may have seen a previous version about corporations from different countries and what they would do with 2 cows.
Here's a technology vendor twist.
ACCENTURE
You have 2 cows. And thousands of calves. And converted school buses to transport them.
APPLE
Two cows extremely unhappy that company, emboldened by the iPhone
settlement, is rumored to be thinking of a Big Mac ad campaign,
Supposedly the chubby PC character from the current campaign will ask
to SuperSize everyone's Vista.
AT&T
You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Then you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow drops dead. You re-purchase the other and hire other consultants to rename it.
BRITISH TELECOM
You have two cows. Both are mad.
GOOGLE
You have one cow. You sell one inch squares on the cow as
advertising space. You are considering tearing down the "you can make
money without doing evil" sign on the tail to free up even more
advertising space.
GROUPE BULL
You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.
HP
You have two cows. You package your milk in print cartridges. Per ounce that costs more than even SAP's milk.
HUAWEI
You have two cows. And a billion workers. The cows yield the cheapest milk
in the world. But the Chinese censors will not let you advertise your
product on the Google cow.
IBM
You have many cows. They all yield blue milk and have red polka dots around their necks.
INFOSYS
You have two cows. They freely roam the streets of Bangalore. People
worship them and give them right of way because they are at Level 5 of
the Cow Maturity Model.
MICROSOFT
You have 101 cows. They are named Vista, Media Center, Mobile, Lucky, Pongo....
NOKIA
You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of
an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. Your engineers are
constantly looking for places to put more antennae.
ORACLE
Like Microsoft you have many cows. But you walk around offering to buy everyone else's cows.
SALESFORCE.COM
You have two cows. You tell everyone else they don't need cows, just milk. And you promise a 99.9% service level of delivery of milk by 6 am every morning.
SAP
You have two cows. They are named R/3 and A1S. You think Microsoft cow names are so 1990s. Your gallon of milk costs more than the entire Huawei cow.
TELESP - Brazil
You have two cows. You have trained them to yield ethanol.


Apple
You have two cows. One cow is painted in pure white, and the other in painted all black. Both cows are unblemished and beautiful and never pause giving milk. However, milk from the black one costs $200 more.

I think Salesforce's experience with two cows is actually somewhat different.
Salesforce.com: You have two cows and their milk is very popular. You wish you could engineer cows that produced orange juice, wine, coffee, tea and take over the world. So you buy a stable and let others breed cows.

Microsoft's cow would like to produce milk, cancel or allow?

And remember, Microsoft got 101 cows because BillG promised IBM Milk when he didn't even have a cow...

Hey, this is really great! I once did something really similar on my blog, regarding Web2.0, you can read it here - http://www.6initiative.com/you-have-two-cows-the-internet-takeoff/

No offense, but some of these are kind of weak.
For Huawei, I would say: "You have no cows, so you clone Cisco's cows."
For IBM, I would say something like: "You used to have one cow, Cow/360. You thought that was the only cow you needed. Then in the 1970s you added Cow/400. Now you have Cow-x, Cow-p, and you renamed Cow/360 Cow-z and Cow/400 Cow-i. After all you are IBM, and if you want to have four cows, you will have four cows."
Microsoft: "You have two cows, but people think you have three, because Ballmer (or is it Bull-mer), looks like a bovine."
I think your Salesforce.com example is spot-on.

it says :
Telefonica (Chile)
You have two cows,these are called Sur and Render. They are twin cows, and seem to be high-class cows.
If they are twins... when they were born their name was SUR-RENDER
these are perfect cows, so much that their milk despite of being bitter, people buy it anyway. ^^
