According with Kevin Boske, Microsoft VSTA Program Manager, "there's been some discussion on this thread on Slashdot, (updated) which started from this article in The Register UK. To be clear, Microsoft is not replacing VBA with VSTA or VSTO in Office for Windows. (though VSTA and VSTO are still important developer tools for Office 14), VBA is here to stay, as was announced some time back by Steven Sinofsky. The Excel and Access Blogs both have posts covering this from the Office perspective."

TechNet Webcast: SharePoint Server 2007 (Part 1 of 6): Planning and Deploying SharePoint Server 2007 (Level 200)
In this first session of our six-part Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 series, see a detailed overview of the SharePoint Server 2007 architecture. We present the concepts of topology, server roles, and network conditions, and also provide an overview of administration features with SharePoint Server 2007. Hear an explanation and usage example for each component of the three-tier administration model: central administration, shared services, and site settings. We also explain various security topics including permissions. Finally, we look at deployment options and use four detailed scenarios to provide considerations for determining the correct topology. The simplest of these is a single-server deployment, and then the options progress to farm options, from small to large.
