Thanks to everyone who attended last night's SBTUG meeting at Microsoft in Sydney, Australia. I'm glad to see keen interest in SharePoint 2010. We also had Matt Moore present a session on how to make technology sexy, which was an ideal precursor to my SharePoint 2010 presentation, which you can download from this site, SharePoint 2010 Preparedness, or view on SlideShare, http://www.slideshare.net/kathyhughes.

 

A few interesting questions and comments raised during the presentation:

 

SQL 2008 R2 Express is 10GB, as opposed to the 4GB limit in earlier Express versions - thanks Victor Isakov for pointing that out

 

You will need to install Office 2010 Professional PLUS to also install InfoPath Designer 2010 - thanks Nick Rayner for pointing that out

 

During the discussion around Access Services, Visio Services, InfoPath Forms Services, and other, Andrew Coates reminded us about Word Services - also part of SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise version. If you are attending the Australia SharePoint Conference (16 and 17 June, Sydney, Australia) Andrew will be presenting a session on "Creating and manipulating documents with Word Services and Open XML" - see http://www.sharepointconference.com.au for additional details.
