Charles,
Not sure where you read into my question that portals would be
'dangerous', and I don't believe that portals are, nor was it my intent
to convey that belief.
Also, you made mention of Shareplex as an MS product, but I
think you meant Sharepoint? I think Shareplex is/was from a company
named Quest.

Subject: RE: WEB Pats (portals)
Try http://cm.my.yahoo.com/?rd=nux. There many other examples in use.
Portals have been around for a years. In fact, Microsoft has had
Shareplex
for quite a few years. Portals are a proven technology. This new term
"WEB
Parts in ASP.NET" just sounds like a way for Microsoft to introduce the
concept to organizations in a Microsoft-centric way. I wonder if it's a
relabeling of Shareplex?
At any rate, the "customization" aspect of Portals does not have to be
dangerous. In fact, I have not seen it done in a dangerous fashion. The
Portlets that the customer chooses are self-contained and self
sufficient.
One practical application that many on this list can relate to would be
an
Accounts Receivable application. Let's say for example, one of George's
responsibilities is cash application. So rather than have an entire
menu
for all of the Accounts Receivable application, he removes all of the
other
menu choices that he does not use and leaves Cash Application and any
others
that concern him. This change in no way affects the integrity of the
application any more than customizing you're my.yahoo page compromises
that
of yahoo.
