 Really bad news
Hey,
i think thats a really great deal for the Venture Capital Investors of Zimbra (got 10 times of their investment back) but for the ordinary user/customer it is a major drawback. You can pretend neutrality a million times, but it is not in your hands anymore! Guys, you don't have to sell the whole company if you want to sell the product. And i cannot believe that any other hoster will take software which has been made by a competitor, i mean we are talking about a whole business area which has been abandoned and left to Open-Xchange as no other major player in oss collaboration is neutral and has the knowledge about this market. Also the SME inhouse market is not the main focus of Yahoo iirc. |
