The Groove client application has been renamed SharePoint Workspace and has gained new features for offline access to SharePoint data. Offline access benefits mobile workers (such as salespeople) who need to work on SharePoint data while out of the office, and it can also serve workers in branch offices who want efficient access to SharePoint data that reside on the other side of a WAN link. However, offline SharePoint access is not new, nor is it restricted to SharePoint Workspace.
