Open X-change lands super-size deal
Businessweek is reporting that 1&1 Internet, the world's largest Web hosting company, said it will roll out 1 million e-mail accounts this year running on Open-Xchange's open-source software.
That's a lot of mailboxes, but I wonder if it's actually the largest deployment of open source software.

btw. the companies name is actually Open-Xchange Inc.
Of course it is not the biggest opensource software deployment (just think about apache, mysql...) but it is some kind of software that is straight in the point of view of a customer, and that makes a difference. You can have a million debian servers somewhere in the background, but the software itself is not "visible" for a average user - Open-Xchange offers a inovative frontend as well as handy api's and developer backends. It's about getting the word out that opensource software is not only useful for nerds or academics, it's about real world usage.
