I was having a conversation with the Bamboo Solutions folks at their booth at the SharePoint Conference 2009 in Las Vegas, NV USA.  We started discussing custom solutions and web parts on BPOS.  Part of SharePoint 2010's core capabilities include the ability of a Site Collection Administrator to upload WSP's.  Obviously there would a huge set of limitations since BPOS Standard is essentially a shared hosting offering built around WSS 3.0 and SharePoint Foundation configured in some varient of Host Header Mode / Host Named Site Collections.  Well BPOS SharePoint 2010 is pretty cool because it brings in a bunch of features from SharePoint Server 2010 including My Sites!  It also brings that custom solution file upload for Site Collection Administrators. The BPOS folks at Microsoft during one of their sessions started discussing the QA/QC process for allowing custom solutions on BPOS-D (dedicated).  Great. Awesome news. But probably the set of limitations is so long that most of us still need to run a non-BPOS SharePoint farm somewhere. 

Well here's the thought for the day - how about BPOS support for BLOB storage? Looking at Storage Point or AvePoint's free blob storage utility this seems like it could be a really interesting combo with S3 or Azure.  I look for all your feedback!

Tried to use CodePlex tonight to find that the side is going through some upgrades/improvements!? I wonder what is in store for us - hopefully some goodies!
