BizTalk 2010 hit the stands this week and quite prominently up on the BizTalk 2010
site there’s info about vNext.

The team has been busy and The BizTalk 2010 Developer Edition is free!http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/en/us/developer.aspx

Lots of info up on the site – What’s New http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/en/us/whats-new.aspx

  • During this What’s new, you’ll see that there is ’enhanced Trading
    Partner Management’ which typically gets flagged under EDI based solutions. In a later
    post I’ll show you how to work with Trading Partners from any solution, and the bit
    that has me excited is that we now can store an arbitrary set of name/value
    pairs against each Trading Partner
    (and their individual agreements).
