SharePoint Server 2010 will require 64-bit SQL Server 2008 or 64-bit SQL Server 2005.

SharePoint 2010 will not support Internet Explorer 6

The Web Content Management features built into SharePoint 2010 will provide a deep level of control over the markup and styling

  1. It is a very nice thing to see your excellent work and I like your article very much. The SharePoint Designer Developer is required to have a high level of technical IT skills but does not need to have code.
