      <title>How Yahoo! Can Turn Back Microsoft</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Spin off Zimbra again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Microsoft&amp;#8217;s talk about gettting all Webby is just the party line.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://zimbra.com"&gt;Zimbra&lt;/a&gt; is the most significant competition to Exchange and Microsoft&amp;#8217;s stranglehold on &amp;#8216;The Enterprise&amp;#8217; and the real reason that Microsoft wants to own Yahoo!.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course this won&amp;#8217;t happen - I think the Yahoo! guys are smart and bought Zimbra so that Microsoft &lt;em&gt;would&lt;/em&gt; finally acquire them.  And they know what the Exchange monopoly is worth to them, so they can hold out until Microsoft gives.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This &lt;a href="http://www.freezimbranow.org/"&gt;group&lt;/a&gt; is looking to block the deal with government intervention on these grounds.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
