BDC Meta Man

I just found this useful tool BDC Meta Man for managing metadata for the Microsoft Office SharePoint Business Data Catalog (BDC).

BDC Meta Man provides the ability to create Application Definitions for the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) Business Data Catalog (BDC) without writing a line of code.

The BDC Meta Man is offered in three different versions, Developer, Professional and Corporate. For a comparison of the different versions, see this document. Developer is free, doesn't expire and gives one activation, Professional is $US1200.00, doesn't expire and gives one activation, Corporate is $US12,000, doesn't expire and gives unlimited activations.

Has Clippy been replaced with "Stapley"?

I previously posted about Clippy being retired from the Microsoft Office product. It looks like Google might be adding a new persona to their search engine, "Stapley".
