Lars has the right idea.  Avoid the use of negatives.  Explain how AFS
can supplement existing file system deployments.  Highlight AFS'
strengths by describing three or four deployment scenarios that AFS
excels at.

* Federated WAN access to read-write data from heterogeneous clients
(Windows, MacOS X, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, BSD, ...) for the purpose
of collaboration.

* Dynamic demand driven content distribution to web servers via the use
of the AFS client's cache.

* The use of @sys and mount points to read only volumes to distribute
platform specific content and deploy new versions without disturbing
running applications.  (use new volumes for each software release)

and don't forget to mention somewhere:

* The ability to use volume management to complete planned system
maintenance without incurring downtime for end users.
