The official date of Microsofts next Office release (Office 2010) and SharePoint 2010 including SharePoint Foundations will be 12 May 2010 - we’ll get to play with the RTM versions before then so keep an eye out for updates on new functionality, features and gotcha’s with the new software here.
You can read more about the launch here: SharePoint 2010 @ Microsoft.com

We were trying to configure Email Enabled Document Libraries in MOSS 2007 and all was going really well until actually configuring a document library to accept emails.
Every time I ran the Incoming Email Settings page and clicked OK I was presented with an ACCESS DENIED error from the web service. Great! Windows 2008 was at it again. It might be a lot more secure but its not kind to those who have to administer it on a daily basis.
Eventually I tracked down a post which showed I had to use a command CACLS to set permissions on the IIS Metabase - Application Pool accounts have no administrative access over this and the CACLS command is a way to allow the required level of access.
CACLS is deprecated in Windows 2008, instead you should use
ICACLS “%SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config” /grant <domain>\<UserAccount>:(D,WDAC)

We’ve now integrated Twitter and MOSS so that users never have to leave the portal to tweet. Sounds useless right? I mean all it does is post a message to your twitter page and get your twitter status back.
On MOSS/SharePoint 2007
On Twitter
Suppose though you have a tighly locked down network and dont want your users wasting their entire day on Twitter. You can lock out access from Twitter altogether, but that means your users and staff may feel constrained at work and eventually their productivity may drop. Why not allow them to update their Twitter using their own My Site? It gives users apparent freedom to maintain their social circle yet because they are within your organisations MOSS Portal work is never far away.
Non-Twitter users aren’t left out as they still get to see the Twitter status on the site, even though they may not have a username or password.
Use the Brantas Tweet web part on their mysite, your users will feel they have a bit of freedom, but at the same time you can ensure that users dont spend all day on Twitter.
