I have been a user of Groove products since its early beta. Mostly because of my Lotus Notes roots and my firm belief that Ray Ozzie is one of the few true visionaries in the software industry. It was a pleasant surprise when an MSN SMS a few minutes ago notified me that Microsoft is going to acquire Groove Networks (story).

This is fantastic news. Groove has always been strong on collaboration, and now I expect there will be better integration with .Net. I love it when my favorite technologies converge.
