Unfortunately, Mr Miller is incorrect in his assessment. The reason I say it
is unfortunate is because I do not think he has adequately conducted hands
on usage of the Beta of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. I have.

I wrote an article reviewing Microsoft's foray into records management and
you can read my post and download the article from here:

< Haven't we always had Retention Management?  Isn't that why we have
classification systems and retention schedules?> Yes. And Taina's comment is
also correct - it includes all content (which, by the way, can mostly all
also be considered records if used to document an action, a transaction, a
decision, etc.). But....the term records management is now being used by
software folks to mean nothing but retention management.  I think that is
the distinction Mr. Miller is trying to make.  That the Microsoft solution
is just a form of retention management, not full records management.
