Microsoft gets really Groovy.

It was no real surprise when Microsoft bought up Groove and Ozzie. But it is still big news. Link: InformationWeek > Microsoft > Microsoft's Groove Move > March 14, 2005.

This puts Redmond and presumably the Office empire in one of the best places of most viable new spaces -- business collaboration. It will be very exciting to see where they take Groove. I am excited because it has the opportunity to provide us with a standard yet customizable mainstream collaboration platform. You thought Lotus Notes was fun? Wait to see where this train takes you.
