Looks like as if they had renamed former NCompass' Resolution to "Content
Management Server" just to be able to use the acronym 'CMS' and let believe
unaware newcomers that they had been in the content management businees
before the term 'Content Management System' was invented.

Nasty move, indeed, but nothing that could've stopped me to smile while
watching its fancy flash demo, because its funny to notice how MS does make
heavy use of its marketing resources, just to make believe they are leading
the industry, when we all know how PITA is to get all that stuff to work
properly, just to make the things that Zope/CMF does in a heartbeat.

I'm looking forward the release of to-be-cool Zope3. I'm sure I'll smile
even more.  :)
