- Is VMware the real motivator behind latest Microsoft-HP deal?
- I couldn't help feeling the timing of the unveiling of a new $250 million HP-Microsoft partnership -- coming a day after Microsoft rival VMware bought messaging vendor Zimbra from Yahoo -- wasn't purely coincidental. How much is the deal really about VMware? by Mary Jo Foley

- Why VMWare bought Zimbra: It's the seats
- Still not sure why this makes sense...I can't see VMware buying this just for the seats and a channel enabler. Somehow email just doesn't seem like the killer app that will prime the VMware channel pump and make sales start flowing. If VMware is looking for an open source...

- Why VMWare bought Zimbra: It's the seats
- Zimbra has been the sleeper cloud-based email provider for the enterprise. I've known about the Bechtel deal -- roughly 50,000 seats globally -- for some time, but couldn't talk about it. Though it's been a while since I've spoken to Ramesh May, he did share some important facts with me: ...
