I always thought of sharepoint as a tool best use to build intranets ? Seems I was off the mark.

Sharepoint is a tool used to identify companies that made a terrible decision a couple of years ago.

That's just crappy design. Nothing to do with SharePoint.MTN's website as well, and its not that great

It's not that. There's just a ridiculous amount of restrictions, file/folder name lengths, characters not allowed, etc etc. Also, wth Windows 7 Enterprise, you cannot redirect your My Documents to point to SharePoint, because a SharePoint site can not be set to be available offline

There is a tool.. Forgot the name that does that functionality for free. An official SharePoint one.
Just haven't worked with Document Management stuffs in a while. Will prod if I remember what it is.

I hate sharepoint, such a waste of time and money. Our company implemented it and has been nothing but one big headache.

To install it, yes. To use it, you just need a NT account. One of the devs I worked with preferred to use Linux to code for SP2010 :erm:
Company who did it, set it up wrong :\. It's not perfect but it isn't that bad...

You can use different authentication providers with SharePoint.

Alternative? Depends on your need.
For enterprise solutions, Gartner does the Magic Quadrant thing every year to compare the solutions.

If not for enterprise, there are lots of alternatives. Other forumites can comment about them.
