Designing Great Experiences for SharePoint 2010

The Discussion

• 

  Unfortunately I can't switch my SP2010 site out of IE8 compatibility mode because it breaks the 'OK' button when submitting a new list item in an AJAX dialog. Tried to debug it but I'd have to muck about with web.configs etc, gets very messy. Shame, really. I was looking forward to exploiting IE9+HTML5 on our intranet.

  It's really annoying that basically all the new features I was expecting to exploit in SP2010: Social tagging of external sites, HTML5 compat, cross-browser compat, sandboxes, etc - are all subtly broken. it seems like large elements of SP2010 are really just SP2007 broken differently...

  Where can I find all these shiny-looking templates like the coffee one? :)

  Hi Paul Stubbs,

  I'm upgrading my company's intranet site and it's in need of a major UI overhaul.  Several of the templates that you showed in the branding portion of your presentation looked very interesting. You mentioned that the templates would be available soon; can you provide a more specific timeframe?

  Thanks,
