By the way, did you see that we also launched our brand open source blogtronixMicro service (an open source cloud on RackSpace) on the 18th at Web 2.0 Expo in NYC ;)
Our new open source project is more of a micro-social with real-time feeds, dashboard, groups, micro-blogging, social profiles, multimedia support, powerful admin, and mobile interface. We now have over 900 communities powered on the software as well ;)
http://blogtronixmicro.com for free account, video, and live demo trial.

Cheers,
Vassil

I don’t believe it is. Have you priced it? I think you’ll find it comparably priced with respect to license. Of course, according to the folks at Microsoft SharePoint commonly required $7 in customization for every $1 in licensing. More importantly, MindTouch offers far more capabilities for cloud based business automation and richer collaboration that extends well beyond Microsoft Office.

It’s $10/user/month nor $10 for 10 user .. etc.

It’s no bargain in my opinion — cloud hosted sharepoint is available for FAR less.
