Microsoft Offi ce Groove 2007 is a new addition to the Microsoft Offi ce system, but the program has been around for several years. Groove Networks, the company that fi rst published Groove software, was started in 1997. The fi rst version of the program was shipped in 2001, and Microsoft acquired Groove Networks in 2005.

Since the time of its acquisition, Groove has undergone some important changes. It is now integrated with other Microsoft products and technologies, including Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, Microsoft Offi ce InfoPath 2007, and Microsoft Offi ce Communicator. If you are familiar with earlier versions, you will also notice when you install Groove that it now looks and feels like the other 2007 Microsoft Offi ce products.
