Exactly. The first time I saw a default WSS 3.0 (Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 -- the most recent version of the free SharePoint services you can use to build core SharePoint functionality) installation, then see someone create a complete website with collaboration and workflow in about ten minutes entirely from a browser, well, you didn't have to hit *me* on the head more than eight or nine times with an iron skillet for me to get the point.
Then when I saw what *more* could be done using MOSS 2007 (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 -- the commercial product that is built using WSS 3.0 and is a superset of its functionality), it took only three more good whacks with the skillet to see clearly: this was the future, and we were going to be a part of it. Since then we've gotten deeply into Workflow Foundation and are doing some pretty cool stuff with it, too.

(Of course not!)) We're in the process of getting into the Sharepoint game. If you're using 2003, I'd agree with you. But, 2007 is really pretty intense. We don't even feel like we've scratched the surface of it yet, and we're already reeling with the possibilities. Of course, we have a big organization that covers the entire state. I can't tell you how many times we've had people ask for a site for this or that committee that happens to be statewide and will probably only be in existence for 1 year or less. With Sharepoint, a few clicks can get them their site. And, they can have instant workflow, instant collaboration tools, instant integration with Outlook/Exchange, etc. Will we do everything in Sharepoint? No way. But, for an intranet, I think it's going to fit our needs well. (And, I'm pretty excited about learning .net. I'm feeling kind of stagnant these days.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:235540 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
