Microsoft's chief financial officer, John Connors, talked up the "innovative pipeline" that will ensure that new products and technology keep rolling out through future years.

But "future" was the key word at the annual financial analyst meeting when it came to the next major version of Windows. Microsoft did not provide the final ship date for the release of Longhorn. "We've made really good progress in the last year. The next milestone for us is getting the beta out sometime next year and that'll be the point at which the feature set and the schedule will really be pretty much locked down," said Bill Gates, Microsoft's chief software architect.

"It's a release that's driven by the breakthrough features, and we'll have a strong sense of exactly what gets in and what the schedule looks like as we get that beta out sometime in the next ... well, next year sometime." Gates did not say the beta would be released in the first half of next year, as the company had been saying prior to last week. If the beta should slip to the second half of the year, that could have a snowballing effect on the final ship date and potentially push the product beyond the 2006 target that the company has bandied about.

New Microsoft Exchange due out in 2006 03/30/2005 05:19 PM
The next version of Microsoft's Exchange Server--software used to manage e-mail, contact lists and calendars--will arrive in 2006, according to a company executive.

Andy Lees, corporate vice president of marketing for Microsoft's server and tools business, revealed the ship date Tuesday. Previously, the Redmond, Wash.-based software company had said the software would arrive in 2006 or 2007. The software, currently called Exchange Server 12, will incorporate new features to handle voice mail and faxes. The current version of Exchange Server was released in 2003. It's a dominant program in the market, but it faces competition from products sold by IBM, Novell, Sun Microsystems and others.

Microsoft Small Business Accounting
Targeted for H1 2006

Microsoft Small Business Accounting
Targeted for H1 2006 02/05/2005 09:45 PM
According to Karan Khanna, product manager for Microsoft's forthcoming Small Business Accounting (now in beta testing), Microsoft is aiming for a release of the platform in the first half of 2006. Microsoft had previously announced product availability in late 2005. From the transcript of The .NET Show featuring SBA:

"ROBERT HESS: Now Christin mentioned that we were in the beta phase right now in this application. When does it actually come out into the market for real?

KARAN KHANNA: The plan is in the first half of next year you would have the application available. But it's in beta right now. "

The application, targeting small (1-25) businesses, is currently in <A href="http://blog.sagetechnology.com/techsage/archive/2004/11/06/ 248.aspx" target=_blank>beta testing</A>.  An <A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/isv/technology/sba" target=_blank>SDK</A> for ISVs should be available soon and those interested should visit the <A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/isv/technology/sba" target=_blank>ISV Community Center for SBA</A>.  The .NET Show episode includes demos of development with the SDK as well as code samples.  Other exciting news for developers is that, because user security for SBA is built into the SQL database (MSDE is supported), the platform will allow direct access to the database from third party applications or even end users'  - import/analyze via SQL ODBC in spreadsheets, for example.

Microsoft Announce Data Protection
Manager 2006 Beta

Microsoft Announce Data Protection
Manager 2006 Beta 04/12/2005 01:47 PM
In an email sent to existing product testers today, Microsoft announced the upcoming beta of System Center Data Protection Manager 2006.

Data Protection Manager, or DPM, is a software tool aimed at all Windows users to aid the backup and recovery process. Microsoft have long been keen on simplifying this feature in Windows, introducing the system restore functionality with Windows XP.

The software features speedy recovery via disk-based backup systems, allowing "recovering in minutes instead of hours"; continuous protection without impact IT services; integration with tape drives via the Volume Shadow Copy Service API in Windows Server 2003. The company also hopes the software will offer good value for money by letting IT professionals work on other tasks; as many a Windows user / systems administrator will note, the process of backup and recovery is a costly and time intensive one.

Microsoft claim that <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/dps/partners/d efault.mspx">30 partners</a> in the storage industry have announced their support for the new software, and will be working on creating solutions for Windows clients. Microsoft will make an official announcement on the launch tomorrow.
