Commerce Server upgrade due in August
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft released a near-final version of its software for building e-commerce sites and renamed the product Commerce Server 2007, from Commerce Server 2006, although it says it will still ship roughly on time in August.
The company made the "release candidate" for Commerce Server 2007 available for download by developers on Friday, from http://connect.microsoft.com. A release candidate is typically a product that has been well tested and is close to completion.
An earlier version of the software went into beta testing at the start of the year under the name Commerce Server 2006. In a blog posting on the Microsoft Developer Network Friday, Microsoft developer Ryan Donovan was at pains to emphasize that the name change does not mean the software is going to be late.
