Announcing SharePoint Server 2010 Preliminary System Requirements
We’ve heard loud and clear that you want system requirements information as early as possible to assist in your budgeting and planning, so today we’re happy to announce (and confirm) some preliminary system requirements for SharePoint Server 2010:
- SharePoint Server 2010 will be 64-bit only.
- SharePoint Server 2010 will require 64-bit Windows Server 2008 or 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2.
- SharePoint Server 2010 will require 64-bit SQL Server 2008 or 64-bit SQL Server 2005.
In addition to the requirements listed above we also wanted to share with you some preliminary detail about SharePoint Server 2010 browser compatibility.
To ensure the best possible experience across multiple browsers we’re focusing our SharePoint 2010 engineering efforts on targeting standards based browsers (XHTML 1.0 compliant) including Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.x. running on Windows Operating Systems. In addition we’re planning on an increased level of compatibility with Firefox 3.x and Safari 3.x on non-Windows Operating Systems. Due to this focus Internet Explorer 6 will not be a supported browser for SharePoint Server 2010.
MOSS 2007: Advantages of 64-bit hardware and software

It is often more comfortable to continue to use something that is familiar and that we know works. The widespread adoption of the 64-bit environment for use with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has been slow to happen, probably because of the investment in time, money, and effort that went into installing and configuring 32-bit hardware and software. The main concerns appear to be that migration to 64-bit will be expensive, difficult, time-consuming, and incompatible with existing software. This article is intended to show that these concerns are exaggerated and far outweighed by the potential benefits.
Understanding the 64-bit environment
The 64-bit environment consists of both hardware and software components. Although the conversion to 64-bit hardware alone may improve performance somewhat, optimum benefit is derived only when 64-bit hardware and software are working together.
