It’s Tech-Ed time at LA, and there’s some pretty interesting stuff going on there..
You can watch the Keynote here: (it’s about 2 hours long!)

The News:
First and foremost - You can now sign up (or at least request) for Office 2010 Technical Preview! (about 16 minutes into the keynote)
Office is opening a TP program in July. Everyone can request an invitation, but not everyone will be answered.
Signing is through a new site that includes a cool Office 2010 promo:

Some more interesting stuff:
- There were some short demos of Office 2010. (Outlook gets a ribbon:-) ) (about 33 minutes into the keynote, and again at 100 minutes)
- Win2008 R2 has built in OCR! I wonder how that’s integrating with SharePoint 2010. (about 93 minutes into the keynote)
- File classification Infrastructure – I haven't completely got the concept of it, but it seems useful. (about 90 minutes into the keynote)
