Errr, people are forgetting that Novell is donating to Open Source as well. So what's the problem with groupware and Open Source? Perhaps more reporters need to visit BrainShare and get up to speed on a thing or two.

Also, ever heard of eGroupWare?
Check out www.sourceforge.net

As for the Microsoft thingy. The most important "functionality" added to anything Microsoft aquires is as follows: make it run with Windows/IE/Office/AD only. In short: if it can't be made to help out in the lock-in strategy then it's killed. Which is Microsoft's biggest problem: it can't play well with others because it refuses to.
