Lotus Notes: A sophisticated document based data management system with inherent mail, calendar and scheduling functionality that includes layered security and is capable of accessing - and interacting with - data from virtually any source.
Microsoft Sharepoint: A development environment that stores information in a database (MS SQL) and surfaces that data through built-in or custom templates utilising a web server (MS IIS).
If you think Sharepoint does anything other than the above (without a LOT of code, plug-ins, dependancies and heart-ache) you are sorely mistaken.
