Groove, Not Gravy

Groove, Not Gravy 04/05/2005 03:56 AM

Apparently, Groove was sold to Microsoft for $120 million in cash (via Dave ) which falls short of $155 million invested into Groove.  Since Microsoft was the largest investor, it's share out of the $120 million is about $80 million.  That means Microsoft bought rest of Groove for just $40 million.

Groove investors got some of their money back for which founders gained some respect.  Microsoft got a bargain (?!?) and a new CTO.  And employees got nothing for their shares.  Phew!

Microsoft snaps up Groove

Microsoft snaps up Groove 03/14/2005 05:45 PM
Microsoft to Acquire Groove Networks: And it's making Ray Ozzie, Groove's founder, chief technical officer. [Link via Dave Winer.] This strikes me as a pretty big deal -- here's why.

Ozzie, the creator of Lotus Notes, started Groove as an effort, once and for all, to solve the still incredibly thorny set of problems surrounding collaborative software. This is an area that's been legendarily difficult for technology companies to crack (Netscape, for example, foundered after it took a turn in this direction by acquiring a company called Collabra). Ozzie and Groove haven't figured everything out, but they've come a lot closer than many of their predecessors. Most recently, Groove has found a big client in the U.S. government, which has adopted its technology for extensive military use (causing a certain amount of controversy).

By scooping up Ozzie and Groove, Microsoft is doing what it has always done: extending its reach by embracing (or consuming) smaller companies that have made technical breakthroughs Microsoft's big research labs and development teams haven't been able to match. It's a smart move for Bill Gates and company -- an indication that they remain absolutely determined not to fall behind the competition, and a sign that Microsoft intends to push the boundaries of collaborative software's capabilities. It will be interesting to see where they take Groove: Let's face it, Windows and Office are both pretty creaky for users who want to share and coordinate work nimbly and quickly. Gee, maybe information technology does still matter, sometimes.

Microsoft Buys Groove

Microsoft Buys Groove 03/14/2005 06:07 PM

Microsoft to Acquire Groove Networks, Combining Talents to Create Anytime, Anywhere Collaboration Products and Services: This is kind of a no-brainer. Micrsoft owned 25% of Groove, and it was only a matter of time until Groove got built into Windows.

Microsoft Corp. announced today that it will acquire Groove Networks Inc., a leading provider of collaboration software for the "virtual office."

This will essentially give every copy of Windows a built-in private P2P network. The RIAA can't be happy about that prospect.

I'm not a big fan of Groove. I spent $700 on it, altogether. It did the job, I guess, but I ended up using it for little more than file syncing between machines — about 10% of the app. I just never felt comfortable with it, because of the Windows lock-in.
