SharePoint Designer is FREE!

For me, SharePoint is a love and HATE relationship. The love comes from the feature rich environment that is SharePoint and the hate comes from the fact that development in SharePoint is thoroughly frustrating. I am both excited and disappointed to find out today that SharePoint Designer 2007 is now a free product. I find this interesting, because, for those that suffered through the “beta” stages of SharePoint Services, we had to pay good money for SharePoint Designer 2007 ($300 if I remember right??) to work with a buggy application – custom List Forms with working attachments anyone?

Never-the-less, for those that are interested in utilizing SharePoint, go download Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and the now FREE SharePoint Designer 2007 product – and you have a business worthy Intranet CMS application – all for free.

IT is not just a job but also a passion. Everything I have accomplished, both personally and professionally, has been generally entertaining, bordering on fun. Some of my projects, such as working with SharePoint Services workflow actions in Visual Studio or building a custom iSCSI SAN using the OpenSolaris, ZFS and COMSTAR, has been quite rewarding. You may think nerd...I think developing a new trend!
