i smell a "Web Office Wars" coming over the horizon.... a battle between Yahoo, Zoho, Google & the infamous Microsoft.

Let the betting begin!

Which way SalesForce is headed to?

Zimbra has a very nice module to interact with SalesForce!

If Google buys SalesForce (http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/06/04/salesforce-is-acquisition-bait/), will the integration continue?

With buying Zimbra, Yahoo! is directly attacking Gmail and Microsoft Exchange.

messaging and collaboration client = Outlook

messaging and collaboration server = Exchange

Imagine a Yahoo! Mail client. This might be a real competitor to Gmail.
