SharePoint Workspace 2010, formerly known as Microsoft Groove 2007, is the preferred end-user interface to SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Foundation 2010. It allows coworkers and team members to collaborate by sharing files, participating in online meetings, and using collaboration tools in a shared workspace. For organizations without an installation of SharePoint Server or SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint Workspace can also be used as a peer-to-peer collaboration application or as a managed application when connected to Groove Server 2010.

A SharePoint Server client access license (CAL) gives a user the right to access the services of SharePoint Server. This Enterprise Edition user CAL authorizes a user to use the Enterprise Edition functionality of SharePoint Server from any device (for example, when an employee accesses the server from a computer at work and another at home). An organization must acquire both a Standard Edition CAL and an Enterprise Edition CAL in order to use the Enterprise Edition.

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 is an integrated suite of services that improves organizational effectiveness by providing control over electronic content, accelerating shared processes, and facilitating better-informed decisions and information sharing.
