Grandfather's Groupware - A couple of thoughts.
I noticed a bias against GroupWise in a couple of things in the article. Didn't you like how the article states

<<GroupWise's powerful new document management functions let us set up a central library in which we could store documents for concurrent viewing and editing. Although these documents are stored in a central library, it was easy to organize them by putting references to them in public folders, which can be organized by subject.

We controlled access to the documents using GroupWise's address book. GroupWise also tracks versions of documents, which let us track
modifications made by groups of users.

Checking an item out of the library was simple, using the check-out options on the GroupWise pull-down menu. Among Novell's competitors, only Oracle bundles document management features in its groupware package. NOTHING SIMILAR IS FOUND IN EITHER EXCHANGE OR NOTES.>> ---- And Doc management was mentioned as one of Groupwise Strengths and the others weeknesses. Yet in the comparison table GroupWise gets a "B" grade but so does Notes "B" and Exchange gets a "C" -(Pretty good grades compared to GroupWise for not having ANYTHING SIMILAR).

I also notice that Calendering, Scheduling, and Task Managment were not listed in the comparison chart with the big "NA- Not Available" by Notes and Exchange. (but then these kind of features aren't very inportant to a company in a Groupware product - NOT)
