Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2007 is now Free !

As word tends to spread in new ways, Facebook is today’s source of information. Well actually that’s not quite true. My friend and fellow I.T. worker Tobias Zimmergren of www.zimmergren.net posted a note today about Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2007 becoming a free product.

This is pretty good news for those who use Sharepoint and want to be able to more easily customise what they do. This seems to be the latest in Microsoft’s bid to extend their commercial reign and I think it’s a good move.

We’re living in times where software is becoming more and more about the community. Monetisation is happening in new ways that don’t necessarily require software to be expensive and often that software is even free.
