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

Daniel is right on this one. This rumour keeps raising its head (see
this article on CMS Watch
(http://www.cmswatch.com/AskTony/Archive/?question_id=43), but its
simply not true.

I work with MCMS a lot and I'm pretty excited about what's coming up in
the next version of CMS. The fact that next version will be more closely
aligned with SharePoint and, by virtue of that, MS Office, opens up a
lot of possibilities.
