Exactamundo.  I guess this just shows how, in the Linux/UNIX world, it
is better to run multiple apps, that are actual stable good apps, than
some crappy app that promises the moon, is flaky and expensive, and
gets more expensive as you go along.  Microsoft's biggest marketing
slime always says how everything makes for more and better
'collaboration' and 'sharing'.  I don't believe 10% of what I read
from them anymore.

The best wikis/blog/CMS apps I have seen, have ALL been open source. 
If there is a 'one microsoft way' to do any of that, I don't want any
part of it!

I think I just got something.  Thanks, guys.
