A good review of the Generac Guardian Automatic Standby Generator

The new sharepoint includes Windows Workflow Foundation which vastly improves the versioning and tracking of documents in sharepooint. Considering you are already used to using word and sharepoint i would recomend moving to the next version of both. The non-technical can use word and publish directly to sharepoint and have all the workflow and versioning happen automatically. The more techinically inclide can work with sharepoint directly.
