Back in May there was a thread here about MS SharePoint, and after the April
news on Microsoft  buying NCompass. Although the new Resolution is announced
to be released as its "Content Management Server" at this fall, there is
already an evaluation version at its site, wich is presumably Resolution 4.0

Has anyone used Resolution before or tested it throughfully?  Are
SharePoint-Content Management Server a real threat to CMF's spreading and
growth, putting aside the fact that Microsoft isn't going to touch Linux, in
the way Paul's pointed out?

I'm betting on Zope and CMF not only because it's object oriented and freely
available, but  because it's always a good idea to learn to develop on
technologies that one's competitors do will need to learn later (like Linux
compels MS webworkers). With Microsoft's move on the content management
arena, I think is useful to get to know its real threat potential, in order
for the community to pay attention to the elements that could strenghten
Zope-CMF, and eventually take measures to overtake Bill's latest appetite.
