New for SharePoint
September 30, 2008
I responded positively to this ComputerWorld headline, “Microsoft SharePoint Gets Search, File Sharing Features.” You can read John Fontana’s story here. I eagerly clicked, dismissed the dorky pop up advertisement, and read the story. No joy. Yes, the article is well written, but Microsoft did not address some of the modest shortcomings of SharePoint. Nope. Third party vendors have rolled out gizmos to convert Tagged Image File Format images to ASCII and an outfit has rolled out yet another tool to make access controls more intuitive than Microsoft’s approach. If either of these software gadgets rings your bell, you should read the story and get out your credit card. For me, I will wait for Microsoft to roll out its own fixes to SharePoint. The company took possession of Fast Search & Transfer in April 2008. Some hot stuff will be coming out any day now.
