How does it work? I went to the Microsoft site to view their Groove demo and the product review page and neither page works! Not a ringing endorsement. Sharepoint is a shared workspace, similar to a shared network drive. People can put files there for everyone in a group to access. It also has a calendar, a wiki, and other features. The idea is that a division of a company or the entire company has a secure place to share data.
Groove is something like Google Apps — you put your files on the Internet and others can access it — including those outside the company unlike Sharepoint. Synchronization is used so that everyone in the group keeps up to date on any changes to the document.
Neither is particularly successful. Since RealityChuck has kindly covered the facts of the matter, I will toss in some commentary.
To prevent people from sharing information effectively, as they might with cheap, sensible forum or repository software. The forum part of it is more awkward to use and less functional than most free forum software. Its search function is lousy. Its object storage is a maze of walled, hidden enclaves.
The only reason we can figure for dumping it on us is that it lets management drones collect a lot of useless statistics about how we use it. Help with terms? What is forum software? Forum software is the stuff that runs message boards.
