Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2009!

The Microsoft SharePoint conference this year is at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas! The unveiling of SharePoint 2010 takes place today at the key note.

The SharePoint partner exhibitors’ booths were just as busy as it was outside in the streets of Vegas!

 

The number of folks attending this year is phenomenal. Good job I registered in the morning when it was not as busy! Some had to wait a long time for registration and to get their ‘giveaways’.

 

Some of the exhibitors at the show.

Here is EPMLive’s booth at the conference.

Microsoft Project and Visio also have booths at the show.

More to come. Stay tuned…..

How much time is wasted when people try to make edits to the same document, passing it back and forth across desks and across teams? In Microsoft Office 2010, the game has changed. You and your coworkers can simultaneously work on the same document, whether it's in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote.

Office System 2010 Preliminary System Requirements - Start Planning for your hardware upgrade NOW!

The new SharePoint Server 2010 requirement will be as follows;

SharePoint 2010

3. SharePoint Server 2010 will require 64-bit SQL Server 2008 or 64-bit SQL Server 2005.

In addition, Microsoft is planning on an increased level of compatibility with 3rd Party browsers Firefox 3.x and Safari 3.x.  Due to this focus, Internet Explorer 6 will not be a supported browser for SharePoint Server 2010.

EPM2010

The new Project Server 2010 requirement will be as follows;
