The collaboration market just became more competitive. Microsoft has acquired Groove for undisclosed terms.
Ed Brill points out the integration challenges (interesting how he marked is post as not-for-quote-by-press). Jeff Clavier highlights that Ray Ozzie will become Microsoft's third CTO, and he surely is the best person for the job. Will be interesting to see how Live Communications, Sharepoint, Groove and Office converge -- and if convergence is meets customer demand. The forecast is Cloudy. Ray's comment is forthcoming.
Congratulations are due to Ray and his team, really is a victory to celebrate.
