Is Microsoft's SharePoint unstoppable, or mostly smoke and mirrors?

| Teper also strongly denied a more serious charge that
| had been floating around the analyst community: that
| Microsoft allocates discounts given to buyers of the
| Enterprise CAL Suite mostly to products such as
| Windows Server, Exchange or System Center
| Configuration Manager, rather than to SharePoint,
| aiming to pump up SharePoint's revenue to demonstrate
| the software's momentum.

The usual mouthpieces (Microsoft-funded) like IDC defend these fake numbers.

Cracking Open the SharePoint Fortress

| Assuming that I've not missed something here, this new
| Google Sites API seems pretty big to me: it offers a
| Get Out of Jail Free card to businesses that would
| otherwise find some of their content locked away in
| SharePoint. And once that data is liberated, there are
| plenty of open enterprise content management solutions
| out there that would be glad to accommodate it â
| without the lock-in, of course.
