We often hear questions from clients about how licensing works for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Pricing for MOSS can be complex, especially when calculating the cost of optional products. For your convenience and information, we've developed the SharePoint Price Calculator. This tool can help you develop a good ballpark estimate of your total licensing expenditures.
Scarey stuff!!

Like many of you, I regularly follow a bunch of business-related blogs and check out dozens of others each week. Most of the new ones I check out have no value (for me) so I never return. I've been thinking about why I choose to pay attention to a blog vs. just cruise by after a quick check.
I've come up with my top 5 corporate blogging mistakes. These are the mistakes that I see again and again.

Empathy consists of a rich set of reusable instant messaging widgets, and a GNOME client using those widgets. It uses Telepathy and Nokia's Mission Control, and reuses Gossip's UI. The main goal is to permit desktop integration by providing libempathy and libempathy-gtk libraries. libempathy-gtk is a set of powerful widgets that can be embeded into any GNOME application.
