New SharePoint Server 2010 (Beta) Content

The SharePoint IT Pro content team is proud to announce the launching of our new SharePoint Server 2010 (Beta) Tech Center and our related set of Technical Articles. In addition, we have launched the SharePoint Foundation 2010 (Beta) Tech Center and its related Technical Articles. We will keep this content up to date with timely information to help you design, build, and deploy SharePoint sites and solutions.
