For those who missed the mention the other day, I also wrote up a comparison
of ACS and Zope and you can check it out here:

I agree with what Jimmie says in his note... I think Zope is a better
platform to build on. I do believe that it is worth mention, though, that
ACS has a number of pre-built components that are much more sophisticated
than what we have in Zopeland today. These include ecommerce, email,
personalization, and ad management.
