Microsoft's ambitious next-generation business applications are now due out in the "Longhorn" time frame, according to a top Microsoft executive. The upcoming product line, dubbed Project Green, will be built on what Microsoft Senior Vice President Doug Burgum calls a new "global" code base.
"Green is now due in the Longhorn timeframe and will stand on the shoulders of R&D around innovation on the platform, database, Office, communications and security...then we come in and add our piece [which is] innovation around visually connecting transactions, customers, employees and partners," said Burgum who heads Microsoft Business Solutions or MBS.
