That doesn’t stop us from knocking their products when we have issues, but in the education world, our district feels that setting students up with products and technology they will most likely encounter in the real world is paramount. I tend to agree.

Microsoft hit the nail on the head when Security Essentials was released and now this news of for small businesses is great! A great product, a great price.

This idea definitely warrants a placement on the pros list.

While I still don’t know a heck of a lot about it, I have found that reading what other people are doing with it has helped to keep it on my radar. Will it replace email? I don’t know, right now I’m leaning towards doubtful.

Gina @ Smarterware posted a great FAQ about Google Wave and it answers a bunch of question I had and gives you a better overview of what Google Wave is and how you can use it.
