You make a point, even if in a sarcastic way. I think the point is reducing the overall footprint. eg: Going virtual doesnt eliminate carbon emission, but is a step in the right direction. Taking your TV off standby mode wont stop global warming, but might help slow it down. etc etc

Hi Robert, you do make a good point, but i disagree.
When deciding on a technology to fit a purpose, you take the current environment, the culture of the company, the other technologies, the budget etc into account when making a technology decision. For me, as an Architect, its almost always an easy discussion to have when it comes to SharePoint because most of the organisations ive worked with have had Enterprise Agreements with Microsoft, and have a culture of using and understanding Office products.

Is SharePoint the BEST product for Intranets? Is it the BEST document management product? Is it the Best Enterprise Content Management or Content Management tool? Can anyone answer yes to any of the above questions? How do you define best? Does best mean it has the most features? Does it mean it is the cheapest? Does it mean it integrates into other LOB applications the easiest? Does it mean it has the lowest Change Management when deploying? Or is it just the BEST because you have only ever used Microsoft products?

So. I guess i need to answer the question about why I use Wordpress instead of SharePoint. Its simple. Wordpress has more features and is regarded as the best Blog publishing platform, bar none. Its Cheaper to host on my limited South African budget because its open source. So for me, it was the best tool i knew of to host a magazine style website. To answer your question then. For me, as a single person trying to host a website and pay for it in South African Rands, SharePoint wasnt the right call. For my company, Dimension Data, which has 11000 employees and an EA with Microsoft, it was an easy decision for me to use SharePoint for both our Intranet as well as our Internet sites.

Hence my answer on the poll was........."it depends"
