semi off topic...

I'm sure the zimbra sales people could give you more detailed pricing, but I recenently priced out a exchange vs zimbra @ 45 users for a company:

exchange would have cost around 32,000 for software(win2k3, veritas, symantic, exchange) plus two servers, plus $500 per year for antivirus+spam filtering updates. Plus several [painful] hours of my time doing install/config of exchange.

zimbra has much lower realistic system requirements, plus only one machine is needed for such a small number of users, so it ended up costing the company $2k for a server and then $1750 per year for software (redhat included). I can get zimbra on rhel up and running within an hour, easy.

so, 75%? nope
