Disclaimer The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent my employer's view in anyway.
Special Note: The big news this week was the announcement that SPD 2007 was now free and you'll find the relevant links below. I've been saying for a couple of weeks in the forum, when suggesting that something could be done by using SPD 2007, that people should use the Trial version for now and wait a couple of weeks before buying it. That wasn't saying it would be free and also more improtantly wasn't breaking any NDAs because someone from Microsoft had let the news out in a publically available video and in addition after news of that publically available video had spread through the SharePoint MVP community like wildwire, a couple of SharePoint MVPs had put out blogs / articles on it before they saw the request from the Microsoft guy who unfortunately had leaked it that SharePoint MVPs *don't* publicise his mistake until the news was officially announced. Well now it is.
The key thing for all Administrators to be prepared for (and more importantly to block!) is that some of their users will be trying to use their newly acquired SPD 2007 copy to access the SharePoint site and could cause absolute mayhem if they are able to make changes to files like default.aspx and save them.
Note: All of the addresses of the KB / Articles - 2007 Products / MS / Non-MS Articles below were valid at the time I added them to the WSS FAQsite and to this file. I can't guarantee that they still are.(Items are added to the WSS FAQ throughout the week so you will find new items more quickly by checking at wss.collutions.com or www.wssfaq.com daily.)From 29th March to 4th April 2009NOTE: Amendments to KB articles are now only listed when a version is x.0.
