So if you read the totallllly not biased CMSWire publication (sarcasm, plainly it’s the most prejudiced and predisposed publication available for the CMS sector), you certainly saw the article in print yesterday, Under the Covers: Alfresco’s SharePoint Services (WSS) Killer.

The most prevalent SharePoint API mistake that I see is the lack of freaking Exist properties on proxy objects.

Today I got selected for one of the twenty Community Content Top Contributor Awards for my contributions to the MSDN wiki. I think it's a yearly award, I am not sure.
