Well the time has come to bring our Knowledge Network Technical Preview to a close. We thank all of you who tried it out and provided us with great feedback and accolades. It is rewarding to work so hard on something and to see the fantastic results that we achieved. As a result the next generation of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) will reap the benefits. So if you are a KN fan rest assured that your passion for Social Networking has had an impact on future releases of MOSS. It has been a pleasure and honor to work with and for you on this Technical Preview and we look forward to your continued support in the next release of the Microsoft Office System. To check on the progress of the future of MOSS, visit our SharePoint webpage http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint/default.mspx. Thanks again for all of your support.
I was part of some beta’s of the predecessor of KN when it was still a so called greenhouse project in Microsoft. I was very exited that it had turned into a product so well integrated with SharePoint and disappointed to learn short time later that it was not going to be a full product but ‘only’ a Technology Preview.
Meanwhile lot’s of companies have implemented KN and have provided feedback. Based on the blogpost above I conclude that we can expect KN to surface in the next wave of MOSS …
