Behind Visual Studio and SQL Server
eWeek | at | by Mike
S. "Soma" Somasegar, Microsoft's corporate vice president of the developer division, and Paul Flessner, the company's senior vice president of server applications, are responsible for the Visual Studio 2005 tool set and SQL Server 2005 database platform, respectively.
As Microsoft moves toward a Nov. 7 launch of both products, along with BizTalk Server 2006, the two leaders sat down with eWEEK Senior Editor Darryl K. Taft to discuss the origins of the products, as well as the deep integration between them, including placing the Microsoft CLR at the core of both.
