Took a while to get up and running with this. Prepped Virtual Machines for Domain Controller, Exchange 2010, and then had some trouble getting SQL Patched Correctly before being able to install SharePoint 2010 Public Beta, but got there in the end!
Just need to get the rest of the toys installed now… SharePoint Designer 2010, Office 2010, Visual Studio 2010 etc etc
Some good intro vids here on Office 2010
I love this promo from Bamboo Solutions…

Microsoft is updating the branding for SQL Services and SQL Data Services. Effective immediately, SQL Services will be called Microsoft SQL Azure, and SQL Data Services will be Microsoft SQL Azure Database. This name change doesn’t reflect a change in the products themselves; we will still be providing a powerful relational database foundation to the Azure Services Platform. By standardizing our naming conventions, we’re demonstrating the tight integration between the components of the services platform. More intuitive names also help to reinforce the relationships between our on-premises and cloud solutions. Ultimately, the goal is to drive simplicity and clarity for customers as they consider on-premises and cloud computing approaches for solving their IT needs.
There will be more news and updates related to our Software + Services strategy next week at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans. For those of you not attending in person, all the news and information can be found at: http://www.digitalwpc.com/ . Check back often starting next Monday, July 13, for daily updates.

Microsoft have announce the next wave of Microsoft Office and related products. Designed to deliver a unified experience across the PC, phone and browser, this wave includes Microsoft Exchange 2010, Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft Visio 2010 and Microsoft Project 2010.
Next Wave of Microsoft Office Products Will Redefine How People Work
Microsoft will begin releasing new versions of Office-related products this year. Exchange 2010 will be the first product in this lineup, entering beta for customers to download today. Exchange 2010 will become available in the second half of 2009. Office 2010 – including Office Web applications, SharePoint Server 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010 – will enter a technical preview in the third quarter of 2009 and will release to manufacturing in the first half of 2010.
Over on the e-commerce blog (owned by the Commerce Server team), they announced the availability of Commerce Server 2009 on MSDN. Excellent!
So why is this so relevant to the SharePoint audience?
Commerce Server 2009 delivers an out-of-the-box shopping site that leverages SharePoint Commerce Services which provides a gallery of 35 web parts and controls that can be assembled within SharePoint.
Here’s a list of some of the functionality provided by SharePoint Commerce Services:
· Virtual Earth Store Locator, which integrates with Virtual Earth mapping software so that shopping sites have detailed maps of store locations.
· Attract a larger consumer base by using Live™ ID, allowing single sign-on to your shopping site.
· Search that searches both the e-commerce site and static content seamlessly.
· Display reviews and ratings for individual products, and ability for shoppers to submit their own reviews and ratings, with administrative workflow for management discretion.
· Display advertisements and discounts that are relevant to both the current shopper and current site context, and that work in conjunction with Marketing Manager and campaigns.
· Shoppers and managers can take advantage of Profile Administration features, including the ability to add and edit addresses, view and launch credit card information, a registration wizard, and the ability to reset passwords.
