[mapguide-users] Niewbie - need some general info on MGOS

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

1. Yes. If you use MGOS 2.0.1, it should have the latests FDO providers. 
MGOS 2.0.0 is missing some providers, you must add manually.

2. There are specific providers for ArcSDE as well as SHP. The OGR 
provider also supports those formats.
As for your rasters, the GDAL provider supports many raster formats, 
maybe yours too:
http://fdo.osgeo.org/fdogdal/index.html

A short guide for rastes can be found here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoGdalNotes

3. Yes, page 3:
MapGuide Open Source (now MapGuide Maestro), WebStudio and Autodesk 
MapGuide Studio.
