Portals anyone? SharePoint vs DNN?

I am at a current position to take an existing ASP system and bring it into
VS200? ASP.NET

Our new CIO wanted a comparison between SharePoint and DNN in a delivery
method for our new content.

My gut feeling is to go to DNN because it's Open Source. Flip side is to
not go with SharePoint because it's M$.

Anyone work with both who has a preference? Any great concepts that you
found fantastic in either product? Any deal killers that couldn't be
overcome in either?

TIA

In my opinion SharePoint is more a document management system and DNN is
more a content management system. It depend if you need document management
feature (check-in, check-out, versionning, workflow, ...) or not. Another
point is that SPS is fully integrated with Office 2003.

Try http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix/cms-matrix to have a comparison between
DNN 3 and SPS 2001 (not 2003). It could help to find keypoint.

Thanks. That was a good listing of features.
