With this release, Novell raises the bar on user productivity with a highly connected collaborative workspace that leverages Web resources to enhance users' interactions. With GroupWise 8, people don't have to be power users to make the most of their tools or time, because a rich and intuitive "dashboard", the Home View, puts everything needed front-and-center. Nothing else plugs people into the Web 2.0 world as thoroughly as GroupWise or makes it look so good - and so easy - once there.  From a simple interface to the most powerful and flexible tools - GroupWise 8 is the solution for every user in your customers' organizations. First Customer Ship Date will be 17 November 2008
