I think eLearningPost contains the most cogent reaction to this article: "Wish we could get more case studies on how LMS and LCMS are being used rather than plain-vanilla writeups explaining the differences between them." Even more to the point, though: as you the lists of features for an LMS or an LCMS, ask yourself: do I need that functionality? For example, do you need a tool that contains a learning object repository (as opposed to, say, one that merely gives you access to one)? Do you need integration with HR? Content integration? Skills management? I stand by this: today's LMSs and LSMSs are foisting on buyers a lot of (expensive) functionality that is not needed. Give me a (free) web browser, as a learner, and I'm set for e-learning. The rest is administrative overhead (and we have a lot of nerve charging that back to the learner).
