So, where does the "collaborative" bit come in. Even reading the verbiage from MS, I am at a loss to understand what this new "thing" offers (sorry, for the lack of words, but I think you will know its Friday and my brain is running down..) There has to be a Marketing Strategy here to get people to buy-in to it, so what is it actually offering? Susan: I am NOT winding Jon up, thank you.

I just create sites and assign users. Don't have to actually use them myself. I'd imagine that it's similar to how it would work on a normal network, either the document is shared, or it says "Someone else has this file open, would you like to view it as read-only?"

What happens if we have OUR.XLS on "somewhere" and I decide to work on it and you do too a few minutes later. How does "Collaborative Choices" handle that? Clearly, I am off the pace here!

Just somewhere where you can keep everything together but without having to give access to your network to external clients, and vice versa.

Something like version control.

At least, that's what we use sharepoint for...
