Have you used Google Apps and seen where multiple people can work on a document simultaneously? Office 2010 will have that same functionality and it will leverage SharePoint as the common document store. The goal for multi-user editing is to allow you to act independently of others while editing the same document at the same time using a rich text editor. To be effective, multi-user editing must handle file level conflicts, within document conflicts, merging of changes, and managing multiple copies of the same document. Currently, OneNote 2007 supports Shared notebooks which provide a level of multi-user editing. Office 2010 enhances and extends that functionality across all the Office products. Below, I have detailed each of the ways multi-user editing is allowed in each product. The big take-away for me is that you get similar features to Excel Services in SharePoint 2007 if you have Office 2010 and SharePoint Foundation Server. OneNote 2010 Changes made to content ...

The first day has been very good – good sessions, good information, and it ended on a high note. I won a Samsung Netbook at the end of the day from a software vendor. It is really cool and really small. I'll try it out on Day 2 of the conference and let you know how it works. I've also realized that if you have extra money to spend or lose, there's a lot to do in Vegas. If you don't, then you just go to conference sessions all day and stay at the hotel. That's what I'm doing. (Except for Tuesday night. Microsoft is having a party.) SharePoint 2010 Highlights Beta will be released in November 2009 with expected final release in Q2 of 2010. New products include SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Foundation Server 2010, SharePoint Server for Internet Sites; Fast Search Server for Business Internet, and SharePoint WorkSpace 2010. The Office 2007 ribbon bar is used to edit pages, add web parts, and modify page properties. Other interface improvements have led to a cleaner and ...

I'm trying to get this Blog done early today so I can go hear Huey Lewis and the News! Microsoft is having an 80's party and Huey Lewis is the main performer. Should be fun! I composed this on the Netbook. The Netbook is slower and took a while to get setup. So far, I'm not tremendously impressed. This presentation was given by Rob Lefferts, Microsoft SharePoint Group Program Manager SharePoint Foundation Server 2010 is the successor to WSS 3.0. It is still the infrastructure and framework that SharePoint Server is built on top of. Per Microsoft, Foundation Server is intended for team sites, basic content management, developers, and "Starter Farms." Best of all, it is still a download at no additonal cost!!! Yea! Foundation Server includes Blogs and Wiki, External Lists, Business Connectivity Services API enhancements, A Ribbon-based UI, SharePoint Mobile SharePoint Workspace List enhancements External or remote storage (instead ...

I'm here. The convention center and my hotel are connected but there's another hotel between me and the convention center. It takes 15 mninutes to walk from my hotel room and the convention center! At least it is all inside. ( Just a reminder, I'm 3 hours behind you. I have not changed my laptop timezone.) There are 7000 people attending the conference and a lot of hype. I think I will learn a lot but I may have to do some probing to get answers about WSS. As I'm sure you can guess, all they really want to talk about is what they can get more money for. Today starts with the Ballmer keynote and the sessions will mainly be overviews of what's new in SP 2010. They have a really cool way of connecting people. All registered attendees are part of the "community" and can fill out a profile with picture. There's a collage page of all pictures and a search tool to find people. To the right of the collage is a constantly updating twitter stream from conference ...
