Sharepoint 2010 New Features

Terms WSS is replaced by SharePoint foundation server and MOSS is replaced by SharePoint server. New hardware requirement is 64bit server however it will work on x86 servers as well. OS requirement is x64 edition of either windows server 2008 or server 2008 R2. It also requires 64 bit version of MS SQL Server 2008 or 2005.

The most prominent change to the visual interface is the introduction of the Ribbon which looks same way as it does in Office 2007 and Office 2010

1. Browser Support

SharePoint 2010 will support a wider range of browsers. Out of the box, SharePoint

will support IE 7 and newer, Firefox, and Safari as Tier 1 browsers. This means that

all features will work in these browsers.

2. Lists

Lists in SharePoint 2010 get an overhaul,

XSL Lists?

SharePoint 2010 does allow you to use XSL for your list views rather than the dreaded CAML View schema. In this case, the list view is stored in an out-of-the-box XSL file called main.xsl, which in turn references other XSL files to render the output of a view.

XSL is a much more usable standard for rendering content than the CAML View

schema, and since it’s an open standard, you get much better tool support as well. More details on MSDN blog:



List View Joins

This is definitely one of the best features in Sharepoint 2010. You can now join data from multiple lists into a single view. This includes any external lists as well, so you can now put your legacy data sources into SharePoint and utilize parts of that data in pure SharePoint list views as well.

The list join feature works much in the same way as SQL views, although the

syntax is very different. These joined views are defined in CAML code in the view

itself.

List Throttling

In MOSS 2007 there was Microsoft recommendation to restrict view items by 2000 but there was no way to enforce it. In SharePoint 2010, administrators may enforce the limit of items in a view. By default, this limit is set to 5,000 items, but administrators can change this for any list or set of users or disable the feature completely.

List Validation

SharePoint 2010 allows to do validation of the input to a list, enforcing either business or technical rules for what kind of data should be accepted. If you have worked with calculated columns, the format of these validation rules is very similar,

For example, you can disable the editing of items using a simple validation rule such as [Modified] ................
