Yahoo buys Zimbra!

September 17, 2007

Yahoo just announced they are buying my favorite email company, Zimbra for $350MM.  Looks like the Benchmark guys are getting 10x on their money!  This is great news for everyone involved.  We are very excited about the prospect of an even more powerful email system (Yahoo, don’t screw it up).  Mike reported the news earlier today in a post titled, "Breaking: Yahoo Acquires Zimbra for $350 million in Cash." Architel and Big in Japan have used Zimbra for more than a year with great success.  I wrote about the platform a couple of weeks ago here.

    Was just looking at this system today for a client. What will happen to the open source element?

    Yahoo first port of call should be an open source version for Windows.

    why is Yahoo running around like the world is made of monopoly money? Ol Jerry should be focused on internal growth and investment rather than spending his 100 days acting like a highschool girl on Melrose

Got something to say?
