SharePoint 2016: It ain t over until it ships.
SharePoint 2016: What to watch for Expect more to come prepare for another preview in Nov This will be the originally scheduled Preview Try the features already announced and submit your feedback Expect features not yet announced SharePoint is due for a major upgrade, not incremental improvement The changes announced for IT Pros enable new scenarios not yet discussed
SharePoint 2016: How to prepare Are you running SharePoint 2013? Ensure SharePoint 2013 sites are no longer in SP 2010 compatibility mode Will your hardware run SharePoint 2016? Baseline specs see incremental changes: Windows 2012 R2, 4 core, 12 to 16 GB RAM (12 for DEV to 16 for PRD) 16 to 32+ GB recommended for SQL Server (again DEV vs. PRD) Windows Server 10 will be supported by RTM SQL Server 2014 SP1 or SQL Server 2016 A standalone install (intended for DEV only) works with 16 GB See what s new in Office 2016 Went RTW/RTM in September, evaluation versions are available Push the buttons on the SharePoint 2016 IT Preview Don t have the hardware? Test it on Azure!
