A raft of updates are expected at next week's Microsoft Tech Ed show in San Diego, including the release of Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1, Internet Security & Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 and possibly beta one of Visual Studio 2005.

As of late Thursday, the status of the first beta of the new Visual Studio toolkit, code-named Whidbey, remained day to day. Best-guess estimates from company insiders that it would surface at Tech Ed, as planned, ranged from "likely" to "iffy." A Microsoft spokeswoman declined to comment on the timing of the beta.
