Microsoft to give 'BizDesk' an interim facelift

crn.com | at | by Mike

Solution providers who have complained about Microsoft Commerce Server's "Business Desk" will get some relief without having to wait till the next major product release. Microsoft is working on "an interim" update to Business Desk, the toolset that enables a site developer or manager to develop, deploy and manage Web commerce applications, a Microsoft spokesman told CRN.

He would not comment on timing or packaging, but said solution providers will not have to wait for the expected next full version of Commerce Server, the so-called "Discovery" suite that is not expected now until 2005.
