I have been contemplating the upcoming release of SharePoint 2010.  I think that the upcoming release to SharePoint 2010 will, for many users of SharePoint 2007, represent a fork in the road.  To my mind the questions businesses should be focusing on are less about the technological features of SharePoint and more about the activity, information and measurement of the business.  The key question is not whether you should use SharePoint 2007 or upgrade to 2010 but rather, how does your organization work, behave, and manage itself?  I would argue that it’s only when such questions are effectively answered that you can truly and realistically examine technology more effectively.
