I think Google should acquire Zimbra from Yahoo

Whereas Zimbra directly competes with Exchange/Outlook and Microsoft is likely to slowly eliminate it or relegate it to the list of applications they purchase and let rot until no one wants it anymore, I think that Zimbra could complement Google's offerings.

I'm not a big fan of either Microsoft or Google, but I am a fan of Zimbra and want to see it live and thrive. I think Google would be very good at doing that. I think Microsoft would do as little with it as possible while meeting contractual obligations with current Zimbra customers.

Come on Google, step up and offer to buy Zimbra from Yahoo. Yahoo will end up being owned by Microsoft so you might as well sell off those assets that Microsoft doesn't want to live.
