SharePoint 2007 differs from SharePoint 2003 in many ways. One important one is that SharePoint now includes content management features (subsuming the old Microsoft CMS). In organizations adopting SharePoint as a Content Management System (whether for good or ill), it may be that SharePoint integration will become a survival issue for wikis.
I found the description of Confluence/SharePoint integration at the URL provided by DanB quite compelling. It sounds like you could build SharePoint sites in such a way that Confluence could not be abandoned until SharePoint was.

P.S. The SharePoint 2007 "wiki" feature is extremely feature-poor. It has page versioning, internal bracket-links, and a WYSIWIG editor, and that's about it. Of course, that could change with Service Pack 1...

All that being said, the list of features at http://www.atlassian.com/sharepoint/features.jsp would be interesting for any company that has both a wiki and SharePoint.
(Also I've heard that SharePoint 2007 is way better than previous editions. YMMV.)
