“I keep picking on Groove, but only because there’s
something interesting in there, one of the few technologies that’s
interesting enough to care about. Yes, the Groove engineers are
architecture astronauts. That’s OK. They’re building architecture.
But they’re positioning it like an application and I don’t think
Groove will be successful if they do that.”

“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.
