    SharePoint Designer 2007 is now free, here is the download link:

    On one hand this is great, since is shows MS wants to invest more in giving users more power on the SharePoint platform. But this putting more power in the hands of users takes it away from us specialists and developers. But that is something we will have to accept.

    SharePoint is a success because it gives users so much more freedom to share and create their own structures and content via the web, now they will have the freedom to extend and develop their sites. If they mess things up, there is still the wonderful "reset to site definition" button :-) And you still need admin rights to install it, so not everyone in your organisation will be able to download it and start hacking away at your lovely "Out of the Box" SharePoint Farm.

    SharePoint Designer may look like a user tool, but it is not really. If users start hacking away at their sites with it you can be pretty sure they will make a mess and then need specialists to fix it
