Since 2001, Microsoft has sold well over 100 million licenses  of SharePoint generating more than $1 billion / year in revenue. Enter SharePoint 2010, due to release in Q2 of 2010. As customers begin to appreciate the delta between previous versions of SharePoint and the 2010 enhancements, it’s my belief that more and more organizations will utilize it as a basis for becoming the ‘employee gateway’, or, as I wrote earlier, a window into the It’s quite amazing, in my opinion, considering the product is relatively archaic and institutionalized.
