Many years ago, at the last to last to last MVP summit, Microsoft was kind enough to share with us what they were thinking wayyyyyyyyyyyy ahead! I specially remember John Durant talking about the specific enhancements planned for SharePoint 2010 development experience. If you haven’t seen John Durant talking on stage, the guy has more enthusiasm than tiger woods in Amsterdam! The energy of his presentations is simply amazing. So, I pulled out my phone, and I snapped a picture! And, I emailed that picture to everyone in the MVP land, and Microsoft land, saying “We have evidence”, i.e. here are the promises that were made, and dammit we’ll see by the time you release SP2010 how many of these do you actually release.
Here is the picture ladies and gentlemen –
It’s a good karate chop action shot isn’t it? Of course, we were all immediately warned not to share any of this seriously strictly NDA information at the time. Well, now that the information is out in the world, I can finally share now, this small tidbit of how far ahead Microsoft is thinking in their plans. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised, if today that they have a very clear idea what SharePoint vNext will be all about, or should I say vNextvNext?
Have fun!

Arpan Shah of Microsoft announced last Friday that they SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 will RTM next month, in April 2010 & the official launch date is on May 12, 2010.
This marks a big milestone… after a year of SharePoint and Office being in beta and available to many internal testers under the TAP program and a public beta late last year, we’re now on the cusp of a public release of the final version.
After working with SharePoint 2010 for over 1.5 yrs I’m looking forward to the final version and being able to teach SharePoint 2010 on the final bits and seeing customers start their roll outs. Should be an exciting time!
