If you haven’t seen their email program, check it out. Here’s their website. The program is just amazing. And it’s open source. You can download it free and play with it. When I visited the company a while back they told me their sales guys are just sitting at their desks catching deals. Fortune 500 companies are trying the stuff out on their own and then dialing in to place orders. After seeing a demo of the software I could see why. I wanted to beg Forbes to rip out Exchange and replace it with Zimbra. This isn’t just some open-source clone or knock-off of an existing product. This is a huge leap beyond the proprietary state of the art. Once again, we’re seeing the real promise of open source. Better stuff, faster to market, easier to deal with the vendor, less hassles, lower prices. What’s not to love? And in Zimbra’s case, you’ve got no worries about getting a shakedown from the thought police at the Free Software Foundation over some alleged GPL violations.
