If you would like to see more about what the RC looks like, please watch our TechNet Webcast from last month, titled “Get Ready for DPM 2010”. 

Some of the highlights of DPM 2010 include:

Protection of Hyper-V R2, including Live Migration with CSV scenarios and the ability to restore a single file item from within a host-based VM backup

Protection of Windows Client machines, while they are on the network, as well as while they are travelling

Protection for Exchange Server 2010, SharePoint 2010, and SQL Server 2008 R2

New Disaster Recovery capabilities for easier replication from one DPM server to another

Self-healing and Auto-Storage-Grow for a “Lights Out” reliable protection solution

Auto-protection of new SQL databases and SharePoint farm components

FYI – Have heard a few people say that if you get a broken link error when connecting with Connect, be sure that you are logged off of the Connect website and then <refresh>.
