October 25, 2011Thanks for this table!
So Foundation doesn’t support SharePoint Designer Workflows? That seems to contradict what MSDN says. Do you know what the real story is there? Do SPD workflows work with Foundation but with limitations?

February 21, 2012Very Good information..
I hv a development environment Sharepoint Enterprise 2010, however I am unable to see Chart web part under Business Data..
Is there any specific activation required for chart web part?
Thanks in advance..
Mukesh Parmar
February 21, 2012Nilesh, The Chart Web Part is part of the Enterprise Edition of SharePoint Server 2010. Therefore, you must activate Enterprise features on the your site collection before you can use the Chart Web Part.
1. Select Site Actions » Site Settings.
2. Inside the Site Collection Administration section of the Site Settings page, select Site collection features.
3. Activate the feature titled SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection Features.
4. Navigate back to the Site Settings page using the breadcrumbs.
5. Inside the Site Action section of the Site Settings page, select Site features.
6. Activate the feature titled SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features. Note: Activation of these features is what makes the Chart Web Part available.

May 14, 2013Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than
just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.
However just imagine if you added some great visuals or videos
to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could certainly be one of the best in its niche.
Amazing blog!

September 4, 2013Cracking post. I have referenced it in post ( currently being revised) to explain why User Profile edit is only available in certain versions of SharePoint.
