In all seriousness, this is the most mangled mess of a product I have ever seen. The integration of SQL Server, IIS, IE, the SharePoint server itself and Active Directory gives the typical IT support professional almost 0% chance of solving any issue. The product is severely oversold by Microsoft sales as the end-all, be-all of application stacks. At the core, this product is still a document repository. All attempts to believe or code to it otherwise will be met by increasing complexity and severe compatibility issues. What is also not stated is the enormous amount of training required to get people to actually use it properly. And good luck calling Microsoft PSS with it. About half the time their response to any SharePoint issue is to reinstall and restore the database. Product is worthless.
