Over the past year, we've tested SharePoint 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2, W7, more.
We’ve put together a nifty package of all of our product tests of critical new Microsoft software. All of it is freely available to you and you have two choices for access: 1) click through and read each individual story on our site; 2) Download a 10-page PDF with all the tests bundled together, though for the effort of creating the PDF for you, we ask for registration before we hand it over (just the stuff on your business card.)
I created a pointer to all the Microsoft tests hosted on our site.. The pointer now lives on the main Microsoft Subnet home page and I have to hand it our test center folks — we’ve put a lot of Microsoft technology through the ringer recently.
Here are the URLs to the tests. These URLs will also live on the the main Microsoft Subnet home page, and I’ll update that page as we publish new tests.
