Title: Microsoft to Acquite Groove Networks

Quote from: Slashdot

In a huge shot across the groupware bow, Microsoft announced today that it would acquire Groove Networks (http://www.groove.net.nyud.net:8090/home/index.cfm), and Ray Ozzie (http://www.ozzie.net/blog/), the founder of Groove, would become Microsoft CTO. Ray Ozzie, the creator of Lotus Notes (http://www.edbrill.com/ebrill/edbrill.nsf/dx/11222004013101PMEBRQVX.htm), 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.
