Microsoft has just announced at TechEd Atlanta that they will release the SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 SP1 at the end of the june 2011.

Some of the major features for me would be –
- Site Recycle Bin kind of enhancements for the administrators to recover the site collections and sites without restoring the content databases (Same as Recycle Bin for Lists, Libraries, and Documents)
- Internet Explorer 9 “Native” support for Office Web Applications and SharePoint
- Office Web Applications Support for Google Chrome
For organizations adopting IE 9, this is no brainer update. For IT administrators, this is no brainer update which would enable the self-service site restorability reducing number of support calls and self-service site collection restorability without going through backups.
Keep up the great work, Microsoft.
