Flessner gave his keynote
entitled 'Getting Ready
for Connected Systems' at
Tech·Ed 2005 here in
Orlando, Florida this
morning. The huge
announcement of the day
was that SQL Server 2005,
Visual Studio 2005, and
BizTalk Server 2006 will
launch the week of
November 7. Now the world
can stop speculating that
these products will slip
into 2006 - Microsoft has
officially committed to
dates.'
Every year at TechEd I
make it a point to attend
the opening keynote which
is often delivered by
Steve Balmer. This year
Steve came out very
hopeful and predicted
that we are on the
upswing of the IT cycle,
while he is often upbeat
he argued his case well.
He said things like
'Exciting time' and
'Innovations like never
before'. Also as I have
come to expect from
Steve, he covered a wide
range of topics that
mapped closely with the
products that MS is most
motivated to see increase
their market share. This
list includes Windows
Server 2003 and beyond,
Exchange, the set of
mobile technologies as
well as some other sundry
tools.
Borland's CaliberRM

one of the first

solution for Visual
Studio Team System in
fact, said Borland today
at Tech·Ed 2005.
