Press seems to focus on two pages of Forrester's reports.
Do a google on "Now Is The Time To Determine SharePoint’s Place In Your Application Development Strategy", you will find two links on top of the search results to buy the papers, and followed by many reports that says BEWARE, WARNING, followed by the word CHAOS... Friends who have access to the report told me that the short comings are only two pages out of the twenty two... Isn't this an overkill?
Seems to me that competition is really scared about what SharePoint can do. Seems to me like SharePoint is saying BEWARE, WARNING, I'M HERE! instead of the other way round...
