eek! I know it’s been a hectic few days if you develop on the Microsoft platform. The SharePoint team is enjoying a lot of oohs and aahs from IT pros and developers, as they unveil features of SharePoint 2010. Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and .NET Framework 4 are ready for MSDN subscribers and the rest of the planet in a few days. And the new MSDN is here!

I’m a little biased but I do love the layout. I was able to discover a ton of architect resources right off the front page (check out the Architect webcast on Silverlight 3 next week):

…and the front page seemed to anticipate that I would be searching for SharePoint 2010 info:

Do take the new MSDN for a spin and don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the front page where you’ll find true gold…

What do you think? Have you tried any virtual labs lately or added a webcast to your calendar?

P.S. My real birthday isn’t until March, but I just celebrated my 10 year Microsoft birthday. I joined Microsoft when Windows 2000 was all the rage :) and MSDN looked like this (thank you Internet Archive, you make memory lane memorable!)
