Look kids, new technology!

You know, when Microsquishy lifted the NDA ban on us lowly MVPs (and others) to go forth and blog about Office 2007 (and specifically SharePoint) we all thought there would be a flood of cool new stuff? Where’s the flood? Okay, I’m as much to blame since I was all biting at the bit to get going yet I haven’t posted a single screenie. Anyways, Mart Muller broke the silence and has a great SharePoint 2007 tip on versioning in document libraries, complete with lots of cool screenshots so you can take a peek at the new interface.

Also I stumbled across a very cool NavigableCmdletProvider widget for Monad which lets you use the new Microsoft shell and treat SharePoint sites like a file share. This is a new technology that Monad enables via a provider and Oisin Grehan put together (through some poking around in Reflector) his own provider to talk to SharePoint. It’s just a start and he hasn’t implemented everything, but gentlemen, this is the very cool thing that cool things are made of. I mean, new web parts, 2007 screenshots and cool tools are great, but who would have thunk to put together Monad and SharePoint this way? Major geek points in my books for this add-in which you can check out here.
