RE: [Microsoft-based solution for a portal + CMS system] : Microsoft SharePoint portal + Microsoft CMS ?

I see a lot of people recommending the MS CMS.  We actually chose not to use
it for clients that require an ASP .NET based CMS based on the fact that the
product is in maintenance mode for what I have read.  This means no further
development will be done to the development of the product.  

We have used Ektron for client installs where we can write ASP code and use
the .NET architecture.  They have a CMS built on the .NET framework called
CMS 400 (http://ektron.com/cms400.aspx).  One thing that is attractive to us
was the release schedule of new updates and features as well as the
stability.  When a new version was released we knew that it was going to
work.  It also has an integration to SharePoint.

Just my 2 cents.
