Although you could see it coming, official word was passed on down the chain that Groove is an authorized P2P technology. In fact, it was the only P2P mentioned by name as an exception, with strong wording that P2P technology was not dangerous by itself.
Just how P2P is Groove? I sometimes wonder how much P2P Groove is, especially as we progress with our managed licenses (250) deployment with server packages. That is, until our connection to the Internet goes down at work but we are still collaborating our butts off. Speaking of a managed deployment, it really is the way to go. In every possible way you really should move towards managing the client installs. Having Groove Networks host the management server for you is painless, but you get all the benefits of password reset, security/device use policies and so on. We chose to manage the licenses in-house to have the ability to integrate Groove into our architecture.
Finally, I will be posting quite a bit to my personal blog. There is a link to it in the Navigator area to the left, and you can find it here: http://www.grandadventure.net/weblog/
