This is good and bad. Good, because I enjoy using them more. Bad, because Google will end up buying them. Now, if Yahoo bought them I'd get excited.

It sounds like Zoho is bundling its apps together and offering it as one package with some admin capabilities for businesses. This is cool, no doubt. However, it is not clear if this bundle covers the ability to manage email. If it does then its a great match for Google Apps. If it doesn't, then the comparison is not very valid.

You can argue that you cannot build everything in house and I would agree. Still, if you buy, you still need to deliver on the innovation and excellence used to build your reputation. Zoho may have the better product and hopefully it is a wake up call to Google.
