The Big Event
On May 12 at 11am ET, Microsoft's Stephen Elop, President of the Microsoft Business Division, will officially open the door to SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 in a live virtual event. During the keynote you will be able to submit questions for a live Q&A and, if you have a little time to spare, there will be a number of on-demand sessions demonstrating the value these products can provide your organization.
April is actually expected to be the month in which SharePoint 2010 is released RTM, and you can bet we will be watching every day in that month carefully.
