I don't really know what sharepoint is, so my viewpoint is that of an outsider, but what I can gather from what I've read about it, it seems to be the inspiration (or one of the inspirations) for Google Wave. Also pretty much any job listing in I.T. seems to mention it. It's like describing .NET before it was released. WTH is it? Here's a theorem I'd like to posit. If you can't clearly describe a MS product, I'd say that it's something to stay away from, for those of you that run your own businesses and can make those decisions.
