That's about 10 years ago. The application was centered around file management and was one of the first functional intranet/extranet. Sharepoint achieved much that I had envisioned. Permissions, integration with LDAP, WebDAV so you could drag and drop from the desktop, search, etc etc. The lists features with the extensible data model is really powerful. They definitely don't get the props because of other factors. For example, imagine Sharepoint that was open source and as easy to install as WordPress. It would be huge. Its the dependency on Windows Server and asp.net that is the the reason it will never be a mass adopted product. I should post on this separately. :) It all started with my first application design, Hotkoko. http://www.commadot.com/hotkoko/ Take a look at the pictures. That’s about 10 years ago.

Nothing against SharePoint (and certainly nothing against you -- I'm a fan), I'm just surprised. For some reason, I never guessed you would have been a SharePoint fan.
