One of the less understood benefits of SharePoint is how it works with Regulatory Compliance.
SharePoints ability standardize processes, keep track of versions and assign specific rights to various users; makes it a great product to utilize for regulatory compliance.
Microsoft has a whole section of their Office site dedicated to this particular usage with the overview, technology and products that can make it work. Below I posted a link to a Complaince Paper download from the Microsoft site.

SharePoint Community
One of the main problems with SharePoint is the lack of proper resources for knowledge, it's mostly Googling (or "Binging" to stay within the Microsoft realm), in order to find any relavent information on your particular question or issue.
There are many SharePoint User Groups that regularly meet and comisserate/share experiences and information. You should seek out a local group and make connections with as many different people as possible, whether it be for understanding SharePoint better, an Admin getting to know a developer, or just to see how other companies are using the product. Here is a list of many SharePoint user groups around the US from the folks at SharePointsearch.com.

SharePoint Service Pack 2 Issue
It's been a while since my last post, just taking a bit of a decompression break, but I recently saw this little blurb from Microsoft and decided this would be a good entree back into the Blogoweb.
And for those who don't feel like clicking, this should make you tremble if you are an early adopter:
During the installation of SP2, a product expiration date is improperly activated. This means SharePoint will expire as though it was a trial installation 180 days after SP2 is deployed.
Um, WHAT? Now I know most people wait out the installs of anything from Microsoft for this very reason. Luckily the product has not been available for more than 180 days from when this was announced, but wow, what a mess.
The fix is fairly simple, just re-enter in your product key through Central Admin as described in this KB article:
Update:
There is now an automated fix that can be installed if you click the KB link above.
So much for QA.....
