We use sharepoint 2.0 and it works fine for most Office 2003 documents but
when it comes to MS Project documents I will often get a "you can't check
this file out to edit it" message. It will, however, let me upload the file
again and, in doing so, will register the newly uploaded version into the
version history.

Buggy enough to use if you understand how to work around it -- but, these
systems are intended to make it easy to share and manage documents for
non-technical users -- edit cycles like the above (with little or no
explanation) make it quite frustrating.

Also -- it works pretty well with Office 2000 documents, but the check-in
and check-out roundtrip process is different enough from office 2003 (at
least in our implementation) that if you have a mixed environment, you are
going to spend a lot of time tutoring users on how to manage their files.
