Nice post Dan and
it’s all true….wow what a roadmap from
there until here, or then until now.
Hope you’re all well and kicking goals like the Arsenal the Aussie
rugby team .
I thought you should know…..recently announced at the big BizTalk conference known
as the SOA and BPM conference at Redmond (put that in your wish list to attend – it
would be great!) was the next version of BizTalk – vNext code named ‘Oslo’ (…checking
the north wall…..kccck…clear!…..south….kccck…clear also).
Great to have a plan I reckon! So here’s the low down of it…..
Oslo will be:
– timeframe 2009+
– services enabled and model driven
– Have the following components (at this stage):
- Built on .NET V4.0 framework
- Server – deeply integrated with WF and WCF to host ‘stuff’
- Services – “BizTalk Services in the cloud stuff”
- Tools – vs.net “10”, app lifecycle
-
Repository – common across management, tools + runtime to manage
the ‘deployed’ bits.

What to do from here – not too much at the moment. It’s sort of a nice to know and
for those keen at heart go and check out http://labs.BizTalk.net where
the current offering is for BizTalk Services V1.0
Register and away you go! Brilliant.
Have fun!
