Troy,
From what I gathered it seemed that many people chose option "D - Other", because all three demos were lacking in both of these categories:

- Project Management
- Version/Revision control of content

That being said I was still impressed with all three products demonstrated, but lean towards SWAP.  This is because the other two systems seem to be to hierarchal in structure with high levels of central control.  I think that the social networking aspect of SWAP is exactly what you would need for collaboration/sharing between the many diverse IT groups at MSU.
