http://www.citadel.org

Users of legacy environments (i.e. Windows + Outlook) will now be fully interoperable on the same server with users of free software. This could potentially spell the permanent end of Exchange lock-in.

I looked at these three as they, more than any others, have results that can be isolated and directly attributed to open source.
