Well, it looks like my friends made out pretty good. Yahoo announced that they are buying up Zimbra. Good for them. Optimally, Yahoo would use Zimbra for their webmail offering, as well as commit their designers to helping build out the AJAX interface that Zimbra has. Yahoo has a pretty good library already, and is a proven leader in AJAX development for GUIs– Zimbra’s deployment– while nice– is a bit overweight and could use some clean up.
I promise I'm relevant 
It will be pretty interesting to see how this turns out. Zimbra, so far, has been the best at what they do.
