SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010 configuration limitations

It had been a very long time writing any blog. I was very busy with the critical project delivery. Now as have some free time, thought will start blogging again in this New Year. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!!!

Recently I was working on new project based on SharePoint 2007 and we had used most of the OOTB features to implement a collaboration portal for client. While implementing the solution, I rediscovered (being involved in custom solutions most of the time, we tend to never face these issue) few SharePoint 2007 limitations for OOTB configurations on lists and libraries. And later tried same configurations on SharePoint 2010 and concluded that these limitations do persist with newer version of SharePoint (2010).
Things that are not changed in SharePoint 2010 and have same limitations as SharePoint 2007 are:
1. Cannot define Default value for Lookup columns
2. Cannot define list/library view with Grouped by column of Allow Multiple Selection enabled.
3. Cannot set alerts on the custom view for filtering records based on document approval status column.
4. Calculated column has restriction of nested if count as 6/ 1024 characters whichever encounters first.
