SharePoint Designer 2007 Trial Version - or free version

Wednesday, 1 April 2009 by alexandrul
Today was released a new version of SharePoint Designer 2007 - it can be downloaded from Microsoft Download Center, and up to 5 registration keys can be obtained from MSDN Evaluation Center.

Today was released the free version of SharePoint Designer 2007. You can download it from Microsoft Download Center.

The beautiful thing about this release is the activation status: I had it installed on two of my PCs, it never asked for a product key and it seems to be already activated:

Sharepoint 2007 alerts in Outlook 2007

Thursday, 5 March 2009 by alexandrul

The alerts from Sharepoint 2007 are simply unreadable in Outlook 2007 (RTM or SP1) configured to connect to an Exchange 2003 server.

One workaround was disabling the cached Exchange mode in the mail account properties (not recommended for mobile users).

One other solution involved some Exchange 2003 patches (depending on the mood of the Exchange admins).

The simplest solution is to install the Outlook 2007 February 2009 Cumulative Update (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/961752). The KB article does not mention anything about Sharepoint alerts, but it just works.
