  Microsoft buys RIM
Time: 06:19 EST/11:19 GMT | News Source: Wall Street Journal | Posted By: John Quigley

*** Subscription required to view store at WSJ.com ** Wall Street Journal is reporting that Microsoft has closed a deal to purchase RIM. This move comes after the MS and RIM deal for hosting of free RIM service for Hosted Exchange users by Microsoft. Microsoft says that it is a logical extension of their goals to add RIM to the family. MS Rep also note that it will take 9-12 months before the RIM OS and devices are fully integrated into MS's Mobile platform. As a side note, technically Microsoft will own almost all the patents related to mail, mail flow, and Exchange mailbox functions, including active sync functions and new mail notifications.

Seriously, after literally years of supposed development by a third-party with nothing to show for it, I'd start from scratch with some PHP-based open source platform like Joomla and spend a week or two customizing it. Voila.
