Perhaps this is in favor of a snappy, lightweight approach to web applications that appeal to (and can be accessed by) the masses. Bear in mind that a lot of the time these services are accessed from shared computers or workstations that the user has no control over what applications get installed. If Silverlight was used and the plugin was not installed on the computer, the service would be rendered useless. Don't forget to check out Skydrive and Office Live Workspaces for SharePoint workspace-like functionality. I'm unaware of any integration with Groove. You can certainly launch SkyDrive from Live Messenger and use it to share files as opposed from directly transferring the file P2P.

What about, say, Silverlight integration? How's collaboration to be revealed? Where's SharePoint Workspace? To name just a few...
