Sometimes technical, sometimes not, never a kitty

Bil Simser responded to Shaun Walker's DNN vs. Sharepoint Feature Matrix, and for some reason I can't get the Submit button to work on Bil's blog.  So I'm posting my comments here.  Two points to add to Bil's great list:

1) Unless there have been some changes made, storing files in the file system with DNN is not secure.  This is the only way to store files in DNN 3 (unless the newest release changes this), and one option in DNN 4.  Someone paying attention can access files by direct URL.  In SharePoint, files are stored in the database, and acceses to these files can be strinctly controlled at several levels.

2) It's actually far, far easier to develop and deploy SP webparts with the free SmartPart than it is to develop DNN PAs.  The distribution method of PAs is great, but development of DNN modules can be a pain.  The SmartPart allows any ASCX control to be used in SharePoint, and has found significant use in my SP installations.  Without the SmartPart, developing for either can be a miserable experience.
