I'm currently evaluating moving from outsourced Exchange (don't ask
and I won't rant about it) to Zimbra which looks really really nice
(thanks Martin for the demo!)

Evaluation is going very nicely. One slight concern I had is that
Yahoo bought Zimbra. I wonder how much of the Yahoo purchase is to
get Zimbra - it's probably one of the better Exchange competitors out
there and hence worth probably $20B a year to Microsoft.
