RE: Groove... I'm so frustrated!

I think it's great to here the same thing from a "100% Windows" user. I feel validated, and I think the web feels validated.

I was saying to Steve Ivy today, I get chills when I think about all of my content being locked in some proprietary format! I thought we grew past that over the last decade. I'm all for looking past the web-as-a-browser-paradigm, but I'm not willing to let go of open standards and open data formats.

It funny, cause I see the webdev crowd as being the early adopters for this product, yet the only people that will be able to use this effectively are companies that have standardized on Windows. Still a viable market. I just hope they are not expecting any of us tech folks to become evangalists.

Yeah I think there is a viable market. There are plenty of other IT related industries that don't have a "mac segment" to it, and Groove could thrive there.

The way I see it -- if FRONTIER can run on Mac OS X (and I held little hope it ever would after some of the threads about it on discuss.userland.com way back) then I wouldn't be surprised to see a LOT of software on Mac OS X... Groove included.

It'd be great if 100% Windows users like you voiced your opinion to Groove Networks about this... coming from a Mac user I think it just seems desperate. :)
