Jon Udell: Let's Groove With Ray Ozzie

Groove embraces the peer-to-peer model that's all the rage nowadays. Recognize, though, that the project began in 1997, long before Napster and the ensuing P2P hullabaloo. P2P is one of a number of Groove's technological underpinnings (security and synchronization are some others), and it's P2P that gets people's attention nowadays. But the term that defines Groove for me is not P2P. It's groupware.
