Hi. I am now faced with having to reluctantly allow the Microsoft
Encarta Class Server as a solution for some of our customers.
Obviously I would rather not. Is there any one who has looked at
this MS solution and found an open source/better alternative?
Details about this MS product is at:
www.encarta.msn.com/Shop/ECS.asp
You can take their product tour at: ecs.msn.com/tour/
The school which is asking me to host their contents on a MS ECS
server has been chosen my MS as a beta site since November last
year and they apparently are happy with the solution. I will walk
away from this opportunity, but I am finding it difficult as it is
a sister school to my alma mater :-).
Regards.
