Microsoft 'RAPs' something new for Office

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft is shipping two new "reference applications packs" or RAPs for its Office Business Applications initiative ? one providing guidance for how to build effective plant analytics applications and the other for how to successfully create electronic forms management workflows.

Both are provided as free Virtual PC virtual machines that demonstrate how developers can build applications to address specific tasks using Office 2007, SharePoint Server, and other Office tools such as InfoPath services. (Virtual PC is free.)
