Comments on: Can the wizard of Oz pull it off?

Ray Ozzie will face the challenge of a lifetime turning Microsoft's new services mantra into a success, CNET News.com's Charles Cooper says.

Groove changing hands?

I think we should read
"Much of Groove's value proposition was about bringing people together across firewalls."
instead of
"Much of Google's value proposition was about bringing people together across firewalls."

Hidden agenda perhaps?

Yes Alex I read the line twice before it sunk in. Surely the sentence is true for both? The difference being that you can take your data and your compatriots data with you where ever you roam with Groove but not with Google! For some of us that choose not to live in over-populated pollution traps this is still very important. I guess the PC (pun intended) problem is that Groove only runs on Windows - which for myself isn't a problem :-).
PS Until they can get a proper flight simulator working on Linux I'm not interested.

No, it's right as printed

google, not groove. ozzie made that very point, holding up google as a shining example of a product that just works, no fuss, no muss.
