Ray Ozzie responds directly to Joel's remarks in a long and well written piece that offers a lot of insights in Groove's strategy.  A mustread for everyone who is interested in Groove. It's a different world now, and Groove's platform potential is far beyond that that could have been envisioned in the mid 80's. Afforded the opportunity to do so, it is surely our intent to create even more value through Groove - for our customers, for our ecosystem, and for our investors. I don't know if you view us as greedy, or clueless, or taking inept actions to choke off our own oxygen, but I can tell you for certain that we're trying our best to concurrently create a platform and an ecosystem around that platform, and to create direct application value for our customers, consistent with our ability to invest in the business and our knowledge and experience in this business.
