VMware acquires SlideRocket to complement Zimbra?

This ZDNet headline makes it sound like VMware will offer the sliderocket technology as an appliance, a la Zimbra. I have no idea if this is true and haven’t seen anything to corroborate this except that it might be an obvious guess. 

Zimbra’s ability to provide collaborative editing of documents is somewhat of a joke when compared to google docs, but sliderocket is in many ways a superior and more groundbreaking product than google doc’s presentation app

Speaking of files being so 1990….

    I feel like we’re starting to chase our tail here. Or chasing too many tails.. (don’t go there, Cole)… potentially way cool, nonetheless.

    If Zimba has a built in collaborative powerpoint-like application it would create a great alternative to desktop clients.
