- LinkTiger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good story, but i don't like having to click through.
- DigitalDud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sticking to "standards" is lame anyway. The W3C comes up with *****, recommendations full of errata and low on usefulness. If Microsoft finds a way to enhance the experience on their browser they should go right ahead. Thats how we got things like AJAX in the first place.
- DigitalDud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Microsoft Watch is wrong about this too, as usual. They're acting like they just sort of merged all the server products into a singular thing. And not only that, apparently they just made this decision now after the product is in beta testing.
It's obviously shipping as a SUITE of seperate server products, like Office client. - jinexile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Chip, If there was an update that made Sharepoint work in Firefox, then my company hasn't adopted it. We recently signed a MS Enterprise Agreement and along with it came the corporate Sharepoint intranet, the site and share point is almost completely unusable in Firefox or Opera. When I questioned this fact all I got was that "You have to use MSIE," not "well there is an upgrade to sharepoint that fixes it so it can work under most browsers."
I am by no means a linux fanboy, at home I have 5 computers, 2 of which run Windows, 1 mac and 2 linux (one is an IPCOP firewall, one is an HTPC.) The fact I enjoy OOS is because I can get most of it running on all my computers so I have some sort of continuity between all the platforms I operate on. - DigitalDud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Opera,
Don't you mean "OpenOffice Server"? Oh wait, there's no such thing. - cr3ative, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Site isn't even loading for me.

digitaldud is correct, the XMLHTTPRequest object was developed by Microsoft, innerHTML is also Microsoft's work.
If they had stuck to the standards, when would AJAX come in? - moisie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Catchy
- absinthemind, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0digg headline is bogus and article is off. MS is simply changing the name of SharePoint Portal Server to Office SharePoint Server so that it's more clearly linked to and understood to be a foundation for the rest of the Office suite business applications. there won't be a SharePoint Portal Server and an Office SharePoint Server; plus, the Content Management Server will still be a standalone.
not only that, they'll still be offering Windows SharePoint Services. this isn't a merging of a bunch of promised products into one, it's a bunch of upgrades with some name changes to go along. anyone that works in this field with MS or has beta'd the new products knew this. - carguy84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Sharepoint is a piece of garbage. .....(knows from firsthand experience.)"
Was your first hand experience from 2001 or something? .NET 2.0 is fully XHTML compliant and MSFT released an update to SharePoint back in November to make it work with .NET 2.0. I haven't run into any problems using Firefox with it. There are a few Office features that you can't do with Firefox that you can with IE, but who's to blame for that? MSFT has the technology to fully integrate the two, isn't it up to other vendors to integrate if the product is worthy of it?
Chip- - BarriedaleNick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Sharepoint is a piece of garbage." - Really - why do you say that? I know a lot of establishments that use it heavily and have based intranets/extranets around it. one of MS better offerings imo..Yes you have to use IE but are you really saying that MS are seling an xpensive bit of server software just so you will use IE - where's the logic in that?
- xutopia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Am I the only one who believes Microsoft is worried about their offerings and are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at us hoping we'll buy?
First they changed their licensing to make it harder for people to upgrade without buying a new licence and now this? "Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007" why not call it "Microsoft Office SharePoint Extravaganza Cabbage Roll Ford Tempo Server 2007"... Please include even more words... perhaps one will be catchy enough to make the PHB buy your product. - carlvjack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Quote"Sharepoint is a piece of garbage. It is built heavily on proprietary technologies (vbscript, activex, etc.) Just another gimmick to lock companies into IE (knows from firsthand experience.)"
I have this feeling he does not even use it and is just spewing Linux OOS retoric he reads about on the internet to make himself sound like he is a computer leet guy. - absinthemind, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^^ - i agree, SharePoint actually is one of the better collaborative workspace solutions to come along, it scales well for all size companies, and it advertises that it supports IE plus Netscape across PC, Mac, and *nix.
don't get me wrong, MS pulls some stunts, but this whole "gimmick to lock companies into IE" is ridiculous - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0>Sticking to "standards" is lame anyway.
Jezz... Good thing you were not around when we were building the internet in the first place..asshat. - blaghness, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Money Money Money

Didn't read the story tho, I don't give a ***** about microcrap office. Been a fanboy for a decade with word and excel and a vba script kiddie, but ms ignores standards. I moved to OpenOffice, and I'm more than satisfied. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Re-thinks? Did they ever think for the first time? Gee, why don't they just buy Red Hat or Gentoo and get it over with...
