Sharepoint remains a corporate roach motel
Corporate data used to be stored in email. Once that got hard to manage & share, Microsoft recommended moving to share point. The thought being you move the interesting data into a special garden. Do that enough times, and Sharepoint docs becomes hard to manage and share. Today, searching a sharepoint (individual server or multiple that span workgroups) is a futile effort. Microsoft's old style indexes & grep keyword search doesn't work anymore.

A smart Google style search across corporate email & sharepoint data is really what is needed. Elevate the most frequently referenced sharepoint docs to the top of the search. Docs are often duplicated across sharepoints and email, often with different versions. Detecting this and helping people find the most recent version, in real time, is also important. Sharepoint is simply a new repository and not really a system to help find and manage corporate knowledge.

Google Enterprise Apps seems to be more and more compelling because of the search & organization features. And new Google App features stream in on a regular basis without waiting 3 years and doing major OS and App upgrades to every server.
