Yesterday was a pretty big day for Microsoft, SharePoint, and the cloud.  SharePoint 2010 Service Pack 1 as well as the SP1 for many related product groups all released, and Office 365 officially was released to market.  

Since these topics are already given great coverage by many bloggers, I thought I would take the time to link-list a number of valuable blog posts covering these items.  I’ll also fill in some detail where I didn’t see a lot of coverage.

For a package list of the released service packs across the stack for SP1, see - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2510766
