Microsoft to Buy Groove Networks

"SEATTLE (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. said Thursday it was acquiring leading collaboration software company Groove Networks Inc., and naming its founder, Ray Ozzie, as Microsoft's chief technical officer.
Financial terms of the acquisition weren't immediately disclosed.

Ozzie, a creator of Lotus Notes, will report directly to Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and continue his work with the Groove team. ..."

Very cool. I've been watching Groove since it came out, played with early beta's etc... Now hopefully it will get a wider audience.

Like Avery says, let's hope we see it on MSDN after the deal closes in the 2nd Quarter.... :)
