The 2013 Collaboration Wave Has Arrived!

 

Today was a big day for Microsoft…  No, I am not talking about Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 or Surface or Windows Phone 8.  Wow, it is truly a big year.  I am the most interested in the Office 2013, Lync 2013, Exchange 2013, and yes even SharePoint 2013 RTM releases.  Today, all of these products are available for download via MSDN/Technet.  If you do have a subscription, start downloading and learning about the final releases of these products.  Here are a few resources to help along the way:

Lync 2013

• Help CHM file
• Visio Stencils

Exchange 2013

• Help CHM file

I will be sure to update my Lync and Exchange References pages in the near term as new resources become available.  Happy downloading and installing!

Looking forward to a lot of new blogging material.
