Take a look at Alfresco ( http://www.alfresco.com/ ). They compete
with us very well. Their strong points are what you've mentioned with
the need for MS Office plugins, and CIFS. It uses a similar document
viewer to scridb for web based view, supports history / revisions, and
has pretty low end requirements for the server cpu time (relatively).

My opinion is that it handily beats the pants off of sharepoint.
Although the project markets itself as a CMS in a lot of places, you
would be better off looking at it as a DMS (Document Management
System).
