SharePoint 2010“About 80 percent of businesses are expected to be using SharePoint by 2010” – Gartner

“The popularity of SharePoint continues to amaze me. It's a useful technology, so I'm not surprised that people like it. What I marvel at is how rapidly it's spread. Are there any Windows customers left who aren't using it in some way?” – David Chappell

“For resellers, partners, and consultants, SharePoint is the brass ring, but at the same time it can also be the noose falling over their heads if they don’t have a competency before hanging out a shingle” - Gartner
