• SharePoint 2007 - Get it NOW

  The full version of Windows SharePoint Services version 3.0 is now available for download at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsserver/sharepoint/download.mspx   As for MOSS, you can download the trial version here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2e6e5a9c-ebf6-4f7f-8467-f4de6bd6b831&DisplayLang=en     So far it doesn't look like either product is available via MSDN and there also hasn't been any official announcement on the SharePoint Team Blog, but I'd expect to see something later this morning.

• Office 2007 - Get it NOW

  If you have a MSDN subscription, you now have access to the final bits for Office 2007!  It looks like they were released late last night.  Read more on the MSDN Subscriptions WebLog:   http://blogs.msdn.com/msdnsubscriptions/archive/2006/11/12/office-2007-now-available-from-msdn-subscriber-downloads.aspx   No sign of SharePoint yet but they did give a date for Vista: Friday, November 17th.
