Some SharePoint News

Life has been a bit hectic around here, but I haven't disappeared. Here's a quick rundown of some recent and upcoming events.

First, the big news -

SharePoint 2010 is Available!

Not all editions, but you can get the most popular parts if you are a subscriber to MSDN or TechNet Plus:

• Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus
• Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 (this replaces Windows SharePoint Services)
• Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 (this replaces MOSS. You can get keys for Standard or Enterprise edition)
• Office Web Apps (Web-based versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote)
• Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010

Look for launch events all over the place throughout the summer!
