Looks like Microsoft is getting stuff out the door on time these days. The latest to be announced (well, rumoured) is Office 2007 SP1. The word on the street is that the SP1 will include a new feature to get rid of the ribbon interface (joke).

Tim Sneath give us the lowdown on why Silverlight will be released as 2.0. Personally I think it is the right decision. There is heaps of new stuff coming and calling it 1.1 is misleading.

Summary: Flex is to Adobe as Silverlight is to Microsoft Silverlight is often referred to as Microsoft's version of Flash, however it is more correct to say it is Microsoft's version of Flex.

There's still plenty of confusion out there about SharePoint, particularly around what is included in WSS versus MOSS. Part of the problem is that there is soooo much information about SharePoint that the simple details get lost… So, let's go through the various options, comparing WSS with MOSS Standard and MOSS Enterprise as simply as possible. I'll exclude technicalities (eg...
