My favourite Office app is getting a new name and some very cool new features. Groove, the Office collaboration tool for geographically, organisationally, confidentially collaboration has always been great at strategic collaboration, but SharePoint Workspace will truly take this to the masses:

• easier to deploy and manage
• easy access to SharePoint content (or content from any server that implements the publicly documented protocols…  MyCoolServer Workspace?)
• Along with OneNote, it will be available as part of Office Professional Plus 2010

So, if you haven’t become a Groove disciple yet, now is a great time to understand the architecture of Groove!
