collaborative web programs

Well, I've been scouring the internet looking for suitable web collaboration programs that don't cost an arm and a leg. Most of these puppies seem to be designed for deep-pockets industries, not for cheap souls like myself. I like the .mac program the best so far, I think: not only does it have a public folder you can share, with drag-and-drop capability, but it has lots of other neat little syncing features as well. With the full subscription you can theoretically take pretty much all your most-used home features with you anywhere: your address book and contacts, your bookmarks, and of course all your in-progress files and folders.

BUT....there's not much you can do with the technologically lagging! My collaboration partner's university uses Windows NT, and .mac doesn't have a download for that. ARGH.

Who uses Windows NT anymore, anyway?!!
