The release candidate is always an important milestone for a product: if possible, it is even more so for a component as essential as your identity provider or your federation provider, which must be absolutely rock solid, secure, always available... you know the drill.

Well, good news everyone! From this morning Active Directory Federation Service 2.0 is officially in Release Candidate mode: read the announcement here and download bits & goodies from here.

As you’ve come to expect, the Id Element is here to provide in video the juicy details, directly from the protagonists:
