Finally the long awaited sharepoint 2010 beta is released by microsoft. Due to busy work schedule, I did not get a chance to try the new sharepoint 2010 beta product at home.
Apart from the busy schedule, I don’t have the desktop/laptop at home with microsoft recommended configurations for installing the microsoft sharepoint 2010 beta.
To learn and get more experience on SharePoint 2010, Last week I have ordered a new dell desktop with below configurations.

Today (03 Dec 2009), I got a chance to install the SharePoint 2010 in my new dell desktop. The installation went successfully.
Here’s the screen snapshots of Central Admin/Main Site.

The ACS Blogs site is providing a step by step instructions to install the sharepoint 2010 beta and it is really helped me to solve few installation issues.
I will share my installation experience and issues in my next article.
