The Web CMS Report 2009 looks at... Microsoft Office SharePoint Services 2007

"But for Web publishing, the key issue is Word conversion, and here MOSS 2007 still strikes us as a tad immature. Upon conversion, the entire text of the Word document goes into a single field in the CMS. If you want more granular conversion, you have to write a converter routine to do so. To convert a Word document, you find in SharePoint and right-click. The SharePoint folder must be mapped to a particular locale in your website. Seems a git clumsy. "

Expensive waiting game for Microsoft customers

31-Mar-2006

My colleague Steve Arnold recently blogged in these pages about how recent delays in Windows Vista and Office 2007 will impact the search marketplace, while other commentators have examined implications for the IT market at large. However, little has been written on the impact for the existing and potential users of Microsoft CMS and Sharepoint. For those customers, delays mean that more code and content will get deployed on the old platform, which translates into a bigger migration effort next year. So, what might be good news for competing vendors is really expensive news for Microsoft's customer base...[Update, 03 April: To clarify: So far it is only the consumer editions, and not the volume-license business editions, that are delayed]
