There is also the question of what we consider to be groupware. To my mind, airline reservation systems, order entry systems, and the like are groupware. Since these beasts typically have awful user interfaces, but are used widely, I'm not sure the user interface problems are really the issue. Rather, a major issue is whether the cost of the learning curve is worth the organizational benefits of a groupware system. Miles Fidelman
