Video: Access Services, Try Access Services Online Free, And SharePoint 2010 Virtual Image Download

The following is a cross post from a piece originally posted to Social Media Talk.

I am very excited about today's post. No, not because I think my video is something special but because of the link to an exciting new resource for everyone who wants to get their hands wet with SharePoint 2010 and its many features (like Access Services). A big thanks for that goes to Microsoft's Johanna White for passing along the hosting and VHD info.

In this episode of Michael on the Go I review what Access Services is in SharePoint 2010 Enterprise as well as its benefits. Access Services promises to be a real game changer in many organizations with features/functionality that should please not only end users who are looking for the relative ease of application in Access but also operational IT folks looking for centrally management, scalability and more.

Want to ramp up on Access Services as well as on SharePoint 2010? Check out these invaluable resources.
