Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 and related

Since the RTM versions of Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 were released, along with the Office 2010 client applications, SharePoint Designer 2010 and lots of other cool stuff, I thought it would be a good idea to provide some downloads links which can help you get on the road as quickly as possible for early testing.
