Steve also neglected to mention the multiple layers of encryption of the data both on disk and across the wire, as well as an ability to adapt connectivity intelligently based on the current network configuration, allowing it to establish P2P or simulated P2P across firewalls and web proxies, meaning that the IT staff has no real overhead to support the communications, except for the increase in bandwidth.
It also has a complex dynamics engine that allows for total sync between communicators.
Please do try to really find out the answers to the questions before blurting out your assumptions.

Actually this is no real surprise, MS already had a large stake in Groove Networks for many years. As far back as two years ago this was predicted.
