At the airport now. Starting with this evening’s reception, I will be spending a good part of the week at the Quest Software booth (# 221) at the Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas. Quest will be demoing 2010 versions of most of our SharePoint products, including my product Notes Migrator for SharePoint . At the risk of spoiling the surprise, everything you know and love in version 5.2 works on SharePoint 2010: migration to lists, libraries, Word docs, InfoPath and content pages plus all the design migration and automated site provisioning.

Our EMEA support team (one of three global support centers where you can get awesome support on my product) has recently put together a series of Computer Based Training labs on installing and using Notes Migrator for SharePoint . Of course their immediate objective was to better support customers who might be struggling with certain aspects of the product, but (as usual) these guys have over-achieved and what they delivered was an entire training course! The table of contents for the first release is shown below. Each of the links points to a "solution" on the Quest SupportLink web site. A login is required. Any Quest customer should have an account on this site, but if you don't have one, a really good way to get one is to register to download a free trial version of Notes Migrator...
