April a Busy Launch Month

Next month, Microsoft is expected to start rolling out a number of 2010 products -- at least, rolling them out to its manufacturing operations and partners. Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010 all seem primed and ready to go.

There will be about a month-long lag before IT pros like you can get their mitts on these puppies, as general availability is scheduled for May 12.

You've already told me everything you know about Office 2010 and it looks pretty good (unless you're one of the many who still dislike the ribbon). Now I'm getting curious about SharePoint 2010. Any of you folks beta testing this thing? If so, send your thoughts to [email protected].
