I have been silent, but after some of these recent posts I feel the need to chime in.

By not installing Zimbra (be it the OpenSource or NE) some showing indirectly showing how much power Microsoft has over all of us. They can make an unsolicited bid for Yahoo and it shakes this community so much they they don't install Zimbra. In my opinion the very best thing we can do to keep our movement going is to keep installing, keep upgrading, keep active.

Like Satish said, "The Zimbra movement is better than any one company." The movement is you and me.

By choosing to not install it plays right into what they want....don't use Zimbra. But all of us who use it, work with it, develop with it, and those who are evaluating know it is the best alternative to Exchange out there.

As an HSP/VAR, we have actually seen a marked increase in inquiries for new licensing/hosted seats since the bid went public. And our larger customers have been re-committing to Zimbra.

Lets keep this movement going strong...install more Zimbra!
