The google analytics data source I'm using has access to Community Visualizations set to ON, but I'm still not able to add visualizations to my reports.
Why am I still not able to use community visualizations?
I uploaded this video below to show proof

Can anybody explain me one thing? Is it possible to get free NetSuite sandbox account for the developer like in Salesforce (developer org)?
You can be a community developer and you get a free Netsuite account.
see http://www.netsuite.com/portal/developers/overview.shtml
It's a fully functioning standard Netsuite account so you don't get One World functionality but other than that you can do all the development and setup you need to do.
It's a bit restrictive in that once you have turned on some functionality like multi-location inventory you cannot turn it off again.
After introduction with salesforce community, I am unable to clear how community is different from portal functionality. I already read here but this don't have answers of question like:
What is new things being provided by community?
What are restriction we have if we use community?
Advantage of community over portal.
Is it capable of provide Email functionalities as same we have in other organization types?
Role of chatter in communities etc.
Is their difference between portal user and community user?
I already know that community is dedicated feature for portal functionality, but is it have some new functionality or only a portal part is separated?
Please provide some summary, links or answers you have.
While there are probably more detailed answers, it sounds like you are looking for a high-level overview. Communities basically combines Partner Portal, Customer Portal and chatter capabilities (so users can chatter on records they have access to, etc.)
Security, sharing, etc. are basically the same. There are standard responses on how it makes things more social and provides a path to greater communication but I think it comes down to combining the portals + chatter.
The main difference is that you will have more flexibility in terms of branding, integrating the communities with site.com CMS for publishing pages and also above all full Chatter integration for all things social.
The old Customer portal and Partner portals had an outdated look and feel and very basic support for publishing a full blown portal. The old Customer and Partner portals are retired and no longer offered, so your only option is not Communities.
With Salesforce 1 platform, now you can have a fully mobile optimized community portals as well.
You can also consider another solution called Magentrix which fully integrates with Salesforce CRM and allows you to build branded self-service mobile portals and more.
We have an existing data source which already includes tables for users (employees) and roles.
Is there a way to use these tables instead of the users and roles tables created by lightswitch when you select forms authentication?

BTW, the LightSwitch team is active on the Microsoft forums right now. You'll probably have a better bet using that forum for questions until the community builds up more. It's a new product so the team is trying to focus on discussions there right now.
Thanks for evaluating LightSwitch!

I'm working on a small project that requires some of our users to be able to view/sort/filter and generally play around with a large amount of data. It's based on a sql server 2000 view and is something on the order of 125k rows worth of historical event data (think sports).
Normally I would turn to excel for this kind of simple manipulation, but the version of excel we use doesn't support more than 65k rows (2003). I've thought of access, but on the surface the interface seems a bit complicated.
Does anyone know of a good tool to allow these users to quickly perform these kinds of operations?
Honestly, if you're confident you could implement a solution quickly (lets say 1 hour) with excel 2007. Consider that Office 2007 costs ~ $500, and whatever your hourly rate is (lets just say $50 for kicks), then you would need to build something within 10 hours and anything over that you'd be better off going and buying Office 2007.
10 hours, that's less than 2 days of dev time. And the $500 price tag is for a new copy of office, not the upgrade version.
Sounds like it's time to upgrade.
BTW, here are some numbers of Excel 2007 limitations.
Report Builder 2.0 is an easy to use tool for creating reports.
If you install Sql Server Express 2008, you get Reporting Services for free.
This will work till you hit the size limit for Sql Express, I believe 4GB of data.
what about an intranet site?
Take a look at ASP.NET Dynamic Data websites. You should be able to create a basic site in an hour or less. They even look good out of the box.
And your users may be "dumb" but you're working for them!
A Crystal Report is not bad if you set it up with the right filters, which the users can control.
Then you can either embed in an intranet site (very easy w/visual studio), or let them view it locally with the free viewer.
If you're already using SQL server, try installing SQL server reporting services (SSRS). it allows you to quickly generate reports for your users and publish them on a web interface, or it even has a plugin for the browser called a Report Builder, which allows users to create their own reports. If the users are proficient in excel, then Report Builder would be an easy jump for them to make.
Create a small windows app, having just 1 gridview on it, with sorting / paging etc. enabled?
If you end up doing some sort of website, check out the Google visualization API for some really spiffy graphs and charts.
