    SharePoint Foundation 2010 Server Overview (aka WSS 14, WSS V4)

    I'm trying to get this Blog done early today so I can go hear Huey Lewis and the News!  Microsoft is having an 80's party and Huey Lewis is the main performer.  Should be fun!  I composed this on the Netbook.  The Netbook is slower and took a while to get setup.  So far, I'm not tremendously impressed.

    This presentation was given by Rob Lefferts, Microsoft SharePoint Group Program Manager

    SharePoint Foundation Server 2010 is the successor to WSS 3.0. It is still the infrastructure and framework that SharePoint Server is built on top of.  Per Microsoft, Foundation Server is intended for team sites, basic content management, developers, and "Starter Farms."  Best of all, it is still a download at no additonal cost!!! Yea!

    Foundation Server includes 

    • Blogs and Wiki,
    • External Lists,
    • Business Connectivity Services
    • API enhancements,
    • A Ribbon-based UI,
    • SharePoint Mobile
    • SharePoint Workspace
    • List enhancements
    • External or remote storage (instead of DB)
    • Advanced backup, recovery, and disaster recovery.

     What's New in Foundation Server 

    • Health Analyzer
    • Granular database backup and restore
    • Ability to restore from a content database that is not attached.
    • More reports on usage.
    • Open Usage Analysis Schema
    • Developer Dashboard
    • Visual Upgrade - See how the new interface will look on your site without committing.
    • Site Workflows
    • Support for FireFox, Safari, Google Chrome browsers as an editing tool in SharePoint.
    • Offline experience via SharePoint Workspace (formerly Groove)
    • Better Mobile-based interaction
    • Word-like editor replaces WSS / MOSS editor.
    • Better looking Blogs.
    • Enhanced lookup columns - read in additional columns from the lookup list.
    • Silverlight Web Part - any Silverlight application can be included in the web part
    • Farm upgrade – You can attach a WSS V3 database to a new Foundation farm and it will be upgraded for you.
    • Application Services - this used to be the Shared Service Provider in MOSS.

    What you don't get

    • Profiles
    • Social networks
    • Taxonomy / Managed Metadata (may still get Tagging, not sure)
    • Enhanced Search.
