ironic. I saw Groove when it first released (c. 2001). back then it didn't appeal to the Enterprise (those on the inside reflected they thought "moms exchanging recipes" would be their paradigmatic user). it cost c. $29.95 and could be used by individuals (effectively) the Groove Server came later and now that MS has it and added it to the top-line version of Office, your perception is accurate: it's a costly Enterprise (captial "E") solution only. perhaps to live out its useful life as a Sharepoint client.

but still, ironic.
