摘要

Although the microsoft acquisition of Yahoo is still up in the air, that hasn't stopped many from speculating about what will happen to the numerous Yahoo assets if the company is taken over by Microsoft. The most interesting area of potential conflict is Yahoo's Zimbra Collaboration Suite. Zimbra is a next-generation e-mail and collaboration platform that makes Microsoft Exchange look like an old legacy system. Given that Zimbra is very much a competitor to a core Microsoft product line, one would have to assume that if Microsoffs acquisition of Yahoo goes through, then Zimbra's days would be numbered. But Microsoft may find that Zimbra won't be that easy to get rid of. That's because Zimbra also is an open-source product. And one of the core principles of an open-source product is that it carit be just tossed away, since the license lets anyone pick the code up and start using or distributing it. So what are the most likely options for Microsoft in dealing with its Zimbra problem if the Yahoo acquisition is successful?
