This is NOT collaboration

• collaboration k làbb ráyshn
• 1. a working together the act of working
  together with one or more people in order to
  achieve something
• communication k my ni káyshn
• 1. exchange of information the exchange of
  information between individuals, for example, by
  means of speaking, writing, or using a common
  system of signs or behavior
• The bottom line is I want to communicate and get
  MY job done and not collaborate and help some
  unknown person get their job done.
• Collaboration is not aligned with the users
  goals, which is to do less work and have more fun.

Technology

• Vista uses a modular architecture which is
  designed to capture display context and enable
  integration
