This product is absolutely nothing like Apache Wave. More similar to some cross between PowerPoint Online and Sharepoint Online.
Apache Wave is an attempt at an email replacement. Something akin to Facebook Messanger but with more hooks into extensions (kind of like Sharepoint meets Facebook Messenger).
This product is more a publisher-like application, create stuff then share it, not a real time communications application.
I never used Wave much (who did) but it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the promo. This is probably one of the first MS products I have been interested in in some time. One of the biggest pluses for me was that they used Apple hardware in there commercial. In the past (especially under Balmer) they have been so anti-Apple it is painful.
