John Newton's post is a week or two old, but shares (no pun intended) the same questions and thoughts I've had about Microsoft's Sharepoint.

You look on the Microsoft web site and it is a very confused picture. You are not told what Sharepoint is; you are told what Sharepoint does. You are told that Sharepoint "improves organizational effectiveness". You are told that you can "turn information into results". Perhaps more informative is that Microsoft(r) Sharepoint(r) Office(r) Server(r) 2007(r) [all copyrights and registered trademarks are the property of Microsoft and all rights reserved] is "one unified suite of enterprise-scale applications that satisfies diverse business critical needs". Hmmm, more informative, but not necessarily clearer.
