SharePoint vNext – Rumours, Speculation and Confirmed Features

The table below lists the known facts about what we can expect in SharePoint vNext and their probability of happening or making the version.

Feature

Summary

Probability

Source(s)

64 bit only

SharePoint vNext will be a 64 bit version only.

CONFIRMED

TechNet

Silverlight

Silverlight 2.0 webparts or UI will be present.

MOST PROBABLY

Speculation

Super-Lists

SQL tables-like behaviour for SharePoint lists

PROBABLY

Bill Gates

Groove Integration

If the user has Groove client installed, more options will be displayed for data synchronization, in more seamless way.

PROBABLY

Ray Ozzie

Master Data Management

Master data source for keeping only one version of the truth. This data can be surfaced as SQL Server views or SharePoint data. In essence, a rebranded and somewhat expanded version of Stratature product +EDM, now known as Codename "Bulldog".

MOST PROBABLY

Wikipedia
Microsoft MDM

XHTML-compliant output

SharePoint UI will produce clean XHTML-compliant output.

PROBABLY

Speculation

FAST search integration

FAST-based enterprise search as a Search replacement. Webparts that show FAST search results.

MAYBE

CMS Watch

ODF and PDF support

Custom filters won't be necessary to index and extract metadata from ODF and PDF files.

PROBABLY

Microsoft

CMIS support

Content Management Interoperability Services will allow SharePoint to communicate with other ECMs via web services.

MOST PROBABLY

Microsoft

Claims-based Authentication mechanism

Decouples the authentication mechanism from its implementation. It will enable SharePoint to use any interoperable authentication mechanism to authenticate the users.

MAYBE

Network World

 

Thanks to Edin for compiling this list http://edinkapic.blogspot.com/2008/10/sharepoint-v14-2009-feature-list.html.

We've known about the 64 bit feature for some time now and have been recommending 64 bit server deployments ever since (for both performance reasons and future proofing customers environments). Microsoft have released some more information about CMIS here http://blogs.msdn.com/ecm/archive/2008/09/09/announcing-the-content-management-interoperability-services-cmis-specification.aspx.

External Document Storage

Any word if SharePoint vNext will have better support/management for external blog storage or remote blog storage?
