Microsoft's Ray Ozzie: SharePoint, Groove
'Very Complementary‘
"You asked if Groove is the future UI of SharePoint. I might
ask the same thing, is SharePoint the future UI of Groove”
"[SharePoint and Groove] are very, very complementary,
and you will see in [Office] 14 and beyond increasing
association with the things that you can do in SharePoint,
and the things that you can do with Groove and the client”
