SQL is not part of Windows. Neither is Exchange. Or Visual Studio. Or MSN and related search properties. Or XBox. Project could arguably be called part of Office, but it doesn't ship in the office SKU. Same thing with SharePoint. It's a stand alone product. Lloyd, I couldn’t disagree with you more.
