In November 2008, Microsoft made its announcement that it would begin selling a web-based version of Sharepoint in 2010. With Google apps already making serious inroads into the SMB and Enterprise market, one has to wonder whether it's too little, too late. Being late to the dance does not even take into account that the web version will be inferior to its client server version. By business model necessity, this has to be so because of Microsoft will not allow its 100,000 plus licenses fall to the wayside.

The question raised in Part 1 actually points to an issue that will rear its ugly head as more and more cloud computer services are utilized by businesses to cover data intensive applications from file transfer, storage, disaster recovery, archiving and work collaboration. Can a law firm still claim attorney client privilege if it intentionally and knowingly transmits a communication to a client through a 3rd party provider?

An interesting question was raised by a Government law department seeking to use LeapFILE to transfer files: does a party lose its right to claim attorney client privilege over a communication otherwise privileged by using a service like LeapFILE to transmit that communication? The rationale for breaking the privilege is that the communication has been shared with a third party (i.e. outside of attorney and client).
