Quick News Break: Open source Zimbra to be bought out by Yahoo!


So who's ready for Zimbra to go mainstream? It might just become reality. Looks like Yahoo is scooping them up for a measly $350 million.

bout Yahoo's acquisition of it? Will they keep it separate or will they integrate 'Zimbraesque' feat
ures into their web mail? Well, Yahoo, just get back to us when you have finalized your Exchange killer - K?

This news comes to us at the same time that IBM and Google separately announce new and improved products to rival Microsoft's Office Monopoly.

Very cool!

It should be interesting to see what Yahoo does with them with all that capital they have at their disposal.

It is safe to say that someone over at Zimbra is going to be buying a new sports car! ;-)

PS: Anyone else notice that the current Yahoo! Mail looks like a hacked up version of Zimbra?
I thought I was the only one to think that The Slothman. It definately hass the functionality behind it.

My shop hearts Zimbra.
