Actually, lots of folks interested in peer-to-peer developments
were waiting in excitement for 10-24-2000, since that was day
Ray Ozzie, the former star programmer of Lotus (who wrote Lotus
Notes and for whom Bill Gates said to be one of the top ten
programmers in the world), had scheduled press announcement about
the secret project on which he and his 100+ hand-picked programmers
have worked for 3 years. The only thing that leaked was that it had
to do with P2P. The product they released is called Groove and
it is a sophisticated P2P software, their web site is:

  http://www.groove.net/

On midnight, as 10-24 started, their site became practically
impossible to get to, and it stayed so for the next couple
days (the software is large to download).
