Microsoft's attempt at an intranet in a box is sharepoint.
It looks like crap and is great at document management.
You can just click on a document on a web site or intranet and have it open in Excel or Word on your desktop.. you edit the document and save it and sharepoint saves the file back to the server for you and makes the changes to the whole version control system. Very cool.
But try and do some simple things and use their automated tools and it is like pulling teeth.
It makes editing documents or web pages easy, but once you start trying to customize it or try and do something even a little bit sophisticated and it just is more of a hindrance than a help.
In the end your web people will just be spending tons of time trying to work around it or trying to do it the "sharepoint" way.
