Microsoft announced that the public beta of its SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 will be available next month.

Microsoft’s Chief Executive Officer, Steve Ballmer, revealed some of the new features of the SharePoint 2010 during the company’s SharePoint Conference.

Some features of the new software include integration with Microsoft Visual Studio, rich APIs and support for Silverlight, REST and LINQ, business connectivity services, new web content management features with built-in accessibility through WACG, multi-lingual support and one-click page layout, and built-in support for rich media such as video, audio and Silverlight.
 
This new software also acts as a single platform that lets businesses deliver and manage advanced Internet, intranet and extranet capabilities easily and with fewer costs, comes with enterprise features such as Excel Services and InfoPath Forms Services, and will come with two new SharePoint SKUs for Internet-facing sites, including an on-premises and hosted offer.

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 is part of the next wave of Microsoft Office-related products, which includes Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Project 2010, Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Microsoft Visio 2010.

The Microsoft SharePoint 2010, Office 2010, Project 2010 and Visio 2010 public beta will become available in November 2009.
