Let’s do a quick recap about what we could expect from the next version of SharePoint from Microsoft:
| Feature | Summary | Probability | Source(s) |
| 64-bit only | The SharePoint v14 / 2009 will be shipped only as x64 installation | 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 |
Edin,
Great Post!
I love the way you formatted the table, qualified the rumors and added references.
Have you seen the SharePoint Team posting on the FAST ESP Web Parts for SharePoint on CodePlex?

According to one of my sources we might have the Ribbon interface for SharePoint 2009!
See: http://www.wirwar.com/blog/2008/12/14/sharepoint-2009-comes-with-ribbon-interface/
Any word if SharePoint vNext will have better support/management features for External Blog Storage or Remote Blog Storage (a part of SQL2K8). I think it will help SharePoint scale to truly enterprise class.
What about using SQL 2008 Filestream, it should be an easy change, one of my co-workers did it by changing the Sharepoint tables to use Filestream
Blogs are so informative where we get lots of information on any topic. Nice job keep it up!!
