I intend on using either ifolder or M$ Groove. The biggest advantage iFolder offers is the possibility of a Mac client, which would be great for my implementation. I haven't made a decision yet, but I have been running a 3.6 ifolder server on opensuse for quite some time, just to get the hang of the software. We've been using groove for about a year with very few problems (outside of integrating mac users, which is not easy). I agree with the previous comments re: ifolder.com. If I could find up to date clients, and, hopefully a Mac client, I'd punt M$.
