Sharepoint 2010 Development environment – Windows 7 (Part 2)
Ricardo Magalh
Following the first article on setting up a Sharepoint 2010 development environment, this time I will focus on another very cool choice having your development environment on a Windows 7.
If you have the experience of MOSS you know that you could only have it installed in a Windows server OS (2003 or 2008), and this would make you use virtual machines or setting up development servers. This time the people of Microsoft allows you to set up the development in a common Windows 7 (64 bits) machine, [read].

Migration from MOSS to WSS
Ricardo Magalh
The migration process usually is done from WSS to MOSS, but once in a while there is the need to do the opposite, so what should you do?
First of all you need to be careful with the features of MOSS that don’t exist in WSS, so a good option is to deactivate them before trying to do a Backup or Export.
This can result in problems with your site, so the best thing is to insure that everything works with the MOSS features deactivated, before migrating to WSS.

Sharepoint Site and My Site in different languages
Ricardo Magalh
A friend on mine asked me if I had any ideia how can a Sharepoint site be in one language (Portuguese) and the correspondant My sites be in another (English).

Chris O’Brien’s Check List for Optimizing Sharepoint Sites

Common Problem with Content Deployment: mixing incremental and full deployment
Ricardo Magalh
From Stefan Gossner blog a very important article on the diference between Full and Incremental deployment.

The problem is that incremental and full deployment do not deploy the same type of content. So the data on source and destin [read].
