Microsoft to Acquite Groove Networks

[The Anti-Microsoft]

In a huge shot across the groupware bow, Microsoft announced today that it would acquire Groove Networks, and Ray Ozzie, the founder of Groove, would become Microsoft CTO. Ray Ozzie, the creator of Lotus Notes, had positioned Groove to straddle both the IBM/Lotus and Microsoft worlds. It will be interesting to see what direction Groove takes now.

So this Groove Networks is a kind of groupware based on Microsoft Office?

No thanks, Novell Groupwise still kicks their ass.

Gotta love this, though...

Yawn... [...] Another day, another assimilation.
