Never heard of it before.
I used Perforce before, and now Tourtoise SVN as Source-controll.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/groove/default.aspx
It's not a source-control solution, but more of a team collaboration tool. So it works well for task lists, discussion, file sharing, and other custom lists.
The huge advantage is that it uses a client capable of offline functionality. So I could easily type a response to a discussion thread while offline and next time I connect to the internet, it automatically gets synchronized to all the other team members. Also, I can read their responses offline. So I can connect to download all the latest updates before heading out on a flight, then read and respond all while offline. (Same goes for everything, not just discussion)
I was initially heasitant to it in the scenario of software development; but since I started working at Groove, I quickly adapted to it.
