[dba-Tech] Question on collaborative choices

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 don't know, to be honest. 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?"

Ummm, that doesn't sound very exciting.  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!

Not really... Just somewhere where you can keep everything together but
without having to give access to your network to external clients, and vice
versa.

Ah, right.  Something like version control.

These are ways that more than one person can use the same documents without
necessarily being in the same building, domain or network, or needing to
email them backwards and forwards, thereby removing the likelihood of
creating multiple copies of documents, and not knowing which one is the
current version.

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

I'll be running a poll next week on collaborative choices for Office users.
What else is out there for Office users who need this type of flexibility
besides the following:

Office Live Workspace
SharePoint
The Cloud
Goggle Docs
