SharePoint and Drupal (Arpan Shah's Blog)
I was asked recently for a comparison between SharePoint and Drupal so I thought I would share my thoughts. While there is some overlap in web/content management functionality between the two frameworks, there are also some notable differences. SharePoint, for example, provides a rich platform that supports a much broader set of scenarios than Drupal.

Making Web Services BCS Friendly – Part 2 (Microsoft Business Connectivity Services Team Blog)

As 64-bit processors and operating systems are becoming the standard for systems ranging from servers to desktop computers, 64-bit Office will be able to take advantage of everything that 64-bit systems have to offer.
