I don't work in sales. I get no commission.

It's not like my life's a secret, a simple google search will tell you what games I play, my website, where I work and more. I had the option of posting anonymously, if I wanted to shill, I would have. I had a training link for SharePoint handy, so I threw it out there.

It was the only training class I knew about. *shrugs* Google another one. My point is the same, if you glance at a program, decide not to bother figuring out how to use it and determine that it sucks only because it's put out by Microsoft then you don't have much of an opinion.

There is nothing wrong with SharePoint. It has a reasonable learning curve, you just have to invest a little bit of time into actually learning how to productively use it.

FWIW ... In my experience SharePoint is a flexible, feature-rich, capable tool. I was skeptical at first, mostly because I just didn't feel like learning it. But as a Project Manager I haven't found a better tool to replace the services you get from SharePoint.

If you're stuck with it because your company bought it and expects you to use it, then my honest advice is to, man-up, take a training course and learn to use it.

I am probably missing something obvious here or misunderstanding the question, however, I am very happy with the search integrated in Windows 7. I have about a terabyte of data across two different volumes, and when I use the regular Windows 7 search I get instant, detailed results.

How big is it? I could care less what it looks like without knowing if it's the size of a dime, a dinner plate or a small dog.

"Get Some" which Apple execs were rumored to have yelled at rival Palm execs while squeezing their junk.

I am running a 1st edition game for my group again. I own the hardcovers, but I bought the PDFs so I'd have a handy reference to kill some time at work with, without pulling out the DMG in my office, which could be...awkward.

I bought my PDFs legitimately through Paizo. But you can guarantee this, any future PDFs I need, I'll gladly download elsewhere, without paying money for them. And I'm not going to feel even slightly guilty about it.

Considering that still, several months later, the State of Minnesota is recounting paper Senate ballots over and over, is this REALLY that bad of an option?
