SharePoint Server 2010
Yes, it finally became official (April 14th it was), the baby will be called "SharePoint 2010".
MS are dropping "MOSS" as Office is no longer part of the official name for SharePoint.
I like this extract from the Microsoft SharePoint Team blog: "Don’t try to acronym Microsoft SharePoint Server to MSS since MSS is already taken by Microsoft Search Server. Just remember, SharePoint is SharePoint is SharePoint."
So, what I will try to do here, is maintain a list of interesting posts/entries that I or colleagues spot, or add our own comments, as things about SharePoint 2010 starts to become clear.

Announcing Service Pack 2 for Office SharePoint Server 2007 and WSS 3.0
http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2009/04/28/announcing-service-pack-2-for-office-sharepoint-server-2007-and-windows-sharepoint-services-3-0.aspx
While this link to does directly give any clues to "what will be in SharePoint 2010" it does state that SP2 will be required for upgrades to SharePoint 2010, and it includes a number of improvements that appear to be "staging" the new release, including:
"A new preupgradecheck operation is added to stsadm tool. It can be used to scan your server farm to establish whether it is ready for upgrade to SharePoint Products and Technologies "14". It identifies issues that could present obstacles to the upgrade process. It checks for several SharePoint Products and Technologies "14" system requirements, including the presence of Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 and a 64-bit hardware, and provides feedback and best practice recommendations for your current environment, together with information on how to resolve any issues that the tool discovers."
More to follow... (and let us know of any good SharePoint 2010 resources you may come across).
