Both Zimbra and SalesForce.com are doing it, i.e. taking an "enterprise" product and making it web-available to anyone.

And while both still sell to large companies, they also reach individuals and smaller firms, too.

There you go. I think maybe that's the key--take an existing segment which is back in the early 90s in its usability, put it on the web with the latest UI, usability, etc., and you then go right up against the existing suites. I've actually seen NetSuite do this for ERP, and their UI isn't even any good.
