Official SharePoint 2010 Information from Microsoft Disclosed

After so much silence, a wealth of SharePoint 2010 information has been disclosed from Microsoft. They’ve put together a site with videos and screenshots, and even have compiled a preliminary SDK for download.

 
Official Logo for SharePoint 2010 (the same as SQL Server 2008 has)

 
New “Welcome” screen with Ribbon and streamlined UI

 
In-place Web Edit

 
SDK Sample that shows a new “client context” object in the API

Silverlight Web Parts

 
New SharePoint Designer UI

 
Two-Way Business Data Services (former Business Data Catalog)

I’ll prepare a more detailed post soon, after digesting these changes :-)
