Waking up this Monday morning, there is tons of information on SharePoint 2010 Technical Preview from Microsoft. More then its' typical for pre-beta. With the initial information that is coming out of the technical preview of SharePoint 2010, I have a strong belief that this version of SharePoint, will be its finest. Sure there are huge improvements coming but I'm taking about getting them right.
Web-Based Office
The biggest news to come out of Redmond, most certainly a direct challenge to Google Apps, Microsoft is rolling out lightweight FREE Web browser versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote. What's even bigger news is that Microsoft says that its browser versions have been tested on all major browsers aside from Internet Explorer, including Firefox and Safari.
