== Collaboration tools ==
Groove's basic set of services (including always-on [[security]], reliable [[Instant Messenger|messaging]], [[store-and-forward]] delivery, [[firewall (networking)|firewall]]/[[NAT]] transparency, <i>ad hoc</i> group formation, and change notification) may be customized with tools. ''Tools'' are mini-applications that rely on Groove's underlying functionality to disseminate and synchronize their contents with other members' copies of the workspace. Groove provides many tools that can be used in the workspaces you create in order to customize the functionality of each space (for example, [[calendar]], [[discussion]], [[file sharing]], [[outliner]], pictures, [[notepad]], [[sketchpad]], [[Web browser]], etc.). After a member creates the workspace, the tools that members use in the workspace drive the nature of the person-to-person collaboration that ensues. Users are able to add and remove tools at any time in order to adapt to evolving requirements.
==Platform==
Beyond the tools that come with the basic Groove Virtual Office, however, it's important to note that Groove has always been designed as a ''platform'' for other tools to build upon. That is, other applications can make themselves "groovy"; users can then share data from those applications and collaborate on projects using them.
Groove is only available for [[Microsoft Windows]], but many of the concepts are similar to [[Lotus Notes]].
