Windows shop, yes.


Not currently using SharePoint.


I want to help them set up a document control system. Right now there's nothing -- so persons A, B, C, D, and D's great uncle can all be twiddling with different instances of the same doc at the same time, and then the poor tech writer (that'd be me) gets to figure out how to integrate all their comments back into a single master doc.

All together now: It depends!

Are they a Windows shop? Are they already using SharePoint for their intranet? What do you want to accomplish?

Or are you just bored with recent threads and hoping to ignite a good pro- vs. anti-Microsoft argument? :-)
