Just how important is SharePoint to Microsoft?

  • Artikel

In this morning's keynote session Steven Sinofsky told how BillG has personally taken the role of Lead PM on the Windows SharePoint Services v3 User Experience team.  If you are in any doubt about how strategically important this product is to Microsoft, that should give you some clue.  And if you don't like what you see when you get to PDC, you'll know who to blame ;)

    Mark, That is interesting. We have used SharePoint a little here, and it seems to be a tool with so much potential, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast. So I am excited to see some possibility of most emphasis going forward!

    This is great news. WSS has been a godsend for us and I think we're doing some really innovative content management related stuff with it. Looking forward to Bill working his magic on V3.

    Travis,

    Actually BOB was PM'd by Gates' girlfriend, now wife, Melinda French. Gates himself had little or nothing to do with it. Yes, it was a craptacular flop though.

    What I would like to see more than anything in Sharepoint is tighter integration with Exchange - especially for the SBS crowd out there. It is a shame to me that Sharepoint uses its own calendaring and the like when it could in stead do more with the calendaring feature already in Exchange.

    It is easy to blame the devlopers for "reinventing the wheel" while SPS is there. But what about the cost of SPS, and that two recurring cost. And it is always never plug and play, there is always custom development. Another issue I personally feel, is developers trying to learn Sharepoint way of things which would not come useful anywhere else.
