[AktiviX-discuss] Another dumb question...

[Peter Cheer]

Hi Dan

Not much help on an alternative to Sharepoint Dan but as someone who has to 
administer a Sharepoint setup be very wary of it. I am not impressed with 
Sharepoint, as has already been pointed out it will tie you into using 
Micro$oft for years to come, has steep hardware requirements on the client 
machines and do not let anyone tell you that you will not need a third party 
backup solution. The built in backup provided by M$ is shite.
