SharePoint 2010 has been Released To Manufacturing (RTM)

Approx 2 hours ago, SharePoint 2010 has been Released to Manufacturing.

This is what landed in my mailbox a bit earlier (see full announcement here http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/):

--------------
We are pleased to announce that a short time ago, we officially released Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, Visio 2010 and Project 2010 to manufacturing!

RTM (Release to Manufacturing) is the final engineering milestone of our product development cycle, and is a significant achievement for all of us. We could not have reached this point without the participation of more than 5,000 customers, partners, MVPs and dedicated individuals who have all worked with us on early deployment and testing of the products. The feedback that we’ve received from you has helped deliver a set of products we are very excited about.

Important Dates and Product Availability Information!
You can expect to see Office 2010 in retail stores in June, and can pre-order Office 2010 at http://store.microsoft.com/OfficePreorder today to receive Office when it ships in June.

Join us for the Virtual Launch Event – May 12th

As announced earlier, we will officially launch Office 2010 to our business customers on May 12 in New York City with a keynote from Stephen Elop, President of Microsoft’s Business Division.

People around the globe can participate in a virtual launch by going to http://www.the2010event.com/. The virtual launch will include product demos, customer and partner testimonials, and interviews with product managers and executives.

On behalf of the entire Office team, we thank you for helping us reach the RTM milestone!
