Excellent explanation of SP Versioning. I would like to use this video in a SP beginners course that I am conducting if this is ok with you.
@25369087568907: You are absolutely right about the "read-only" message. His point is that once "Joe" is done editing, then "Sue" will be able to open the document, make her edits, save it, & her doc will be the latest & greatest while Joe loses his work. This scenario actually happened to me; no fun when HOURS of work are gone from both people.
Your statement about the shared drive is absolutely incorrect. If "Joe in accounting" is editing a document on a shared drive, then "Sue in management" will get a "read-only" message if she tries to open it. This is perfect behavior and the reason why shared drives "just work". Add VSS snapshots and enterprise search to the shared drive and you have a compelling document management system for a fraction of the price.
