Alpesh Nakar – SharePoint Consultant's Blog

Last week or so, my good old mate, Ivan Brebner launched Digital Atmosphere public facing site on SharePoint 2010 Foundation (Beta)!

Congratulations to Ivan on this launch! I believe this is not only Aussie First but possibly the first SharePoint Consulting company (in Asia Pacific) to launch on SharePoint 2010 Foundation (Beta).

Check out the site which has been customised by Ivan himself and has a good mix of Silverlight as well!

The forums have been created but you will get access denied error. They should be live soon.

Now that SharePoint 2010 Beta and Office 2010 Beta is available to download from MSDN, TechNet and Connect website, points to note (for self reference) from Jie Li’s Blog post.  Read more... (450 words, estimated 1:48 mins reading time)

1. This beta is not supported and you CANNOT upgrade the installation to RTM when it’s released. This Beta should only be used for evaluation purpose.
2. Windows Server 2008 R2 requires a hotfix which is not yet released to have the service applications running so I don’t recommend to use that now. Web Server Editions are not supported.
