It's too bad they didn't do something other than the default skin though...still very kewl, I agree.

The one thing that seems to get lost in Microsoft's showcase of having Microsoft.com moved to the Sharepoint 2007 platform is cost: the connector you have to purchase to allow for unlimited access to an externally facing website based on Sharepoint 2007 is huge! (around $30,000 Cdn) So for most websites, that's not so attractive since they can get a full featured site built for that cost. It'll be interesting to see how Microsoft will market the public-facing site functionality in 2007 and justify the price tag.
