Windows 7 and SharePoint 2010

Windows 7 was released today and it was announced on SharePoint blog that Office and SharePoint Server 2010 will be available for broad Beta in November.

There is a good news for SharePoint developers – you can install SharePoint 2010 on both Windows 7 and Vista client machines. This means that you no longer need a server OS to develop for SharePoint (SharePoint 2010 client install is not supported for production only for development).

You can already get your Windows 7 copy online at Microsoft Store.

  The client must have 64 bits OS to run SP2010, am I right on this?

  Hi Maarten, Yes, SharePoint 2010 is 64 bit only. Check the system requirements here: http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2009/05/11/announcing-sharepoint-server-2010-preliminary-system-requirements.aspx.
