Chris,

2. Refers to that fact that by default only group owners and members of a private group can even see the content, making it difficult to judge if people are using them. You can add yourself as an owner but it takes time to take effect. No part of a computer system should be locked out to the people managing it. Having them not searchable and unrecoverable only adds to them problem.

5. Refers to the fact that Microsoft are pushing groups all the time time but the UI is disjointed to the users. How does someone navigate from a group to a central intranet site etc?
