"kiddee-Groove"

Microsoft's latest thang: threedegrees. The spin from boingboing:

MSFT has shipped a kiddee-Groove, a file-sharing/IM/collaboration tech aimed at teens, called Softie. The project sounds kind of neat, until you realize that it's got an assload of DRM built into it and, in the end, does less than Napster did.
It really does sound Groove-like in some ways. Musicmix is a familiar idea, but could use a twist (as Patrick knows - go play).
