First of all, I realize I’m a little behind on this post.  The truth is I started it over a week ago.  The day after I started it, I lost my access to TechNet.  It was a weird glitch with TechNet and I never found out what it was, but I was able to get to it again about 2 1/2 days later.  As Murphy’s law would have it, shortly after that I had computer problems that let to a format.  But finally, here it is:

Microsoft has add an stsadm reference on TechNet allowing you to “navigate through the stsadm commands with both WSS and SharePoint.  You can filter commands are not in the UI, which commands were new with SP1, SP2.  You can also view al the commands with a key that lets you see the same thing as the filters above.

The commands are also categorized so you can see which commands are available for Import and Export, General, Features and Solutions, etc.  But, enough with my babling, go check it out for yourself!!

If you’ve installed SP2 into your SharePoint farm you’ll want to read this article to make sure you SharePoint license doesn’t expire on you:

True to their word, Microsoft release SP2 for their Office suite today.  It includes SP2 for Office 2007, WSSv3 and MOSS 2007.  For a little more detail on the updates, SharePoint Joel has a great blog post.

Lots of news on the Microsoft Office front today so I decided to add a blog post instead of just twittering about it.

The first items comes from a recent posting by www.microsoft-watch.com.  Service Pack 2 for Office 2007 will be release in two weeks, on April 28.  Two of the largest changes are the PDF/XPS printer will now be included automatically in SP2 rather than the separate add-on download/install that it is now.  The second improvement is the added support of ODF (Open Document Format) documents.  The list of improvements and bug fixes is long, but those are the two major ones in my opinion.

The second one is that Office “14” is going to be Office 2010.  There was a posting earlier about it, that also receive some doubt about it’s validity.  However, this posting by Mary-Jo Foley seems to confirm that the initial posting was accurate, even if the screen shot wasn’t valid.

I’m not going to go on way or the other on the validity of the screen shot, but needless to say, there were plenty of very strong indicators that the next version of Office will indeed by Office 2010.
