MS-Watch | at | by Mike

Redmond finds success in pitching European app makers to embed another Microsoft-developed layer of software designed to run atop the .NET Framework. Microsoft's campaign to encourage third-party software vendors to embed not only its .Net Framework, but also another layer of software designed to build on top of .Net, seems to be picking up steam.

This week, Microsoft's small/mid-size business division, Microsoft Business Solutions, announced that 14 independent software vendors (ISVs) have agreed to act as early adopters of the Microsoft Business Framework. Microsoft made the announcement at channel-partner event in Rome.
