Groove to Work with Windows Messenger

A company led by a former Microsoft foe might be doing more to push the crucial technology in Windows XP than any of Microsoft's other partners. Groove Networks, with Lotus Notes creator Ray Ozzie at the helm, says that it will soon release a new version of its Groove software that will piggyback on XP's Windows Messenger, giving people the opportunity to collaborate in groups over a secure Internet connection. Groove had previously created a version of its software that included instant messaging features, but by building on the extensible base of Windows Messenger, the company feels that it can add value in those areas where its software is unique.
