If you were watching for it, some recent press confirms that BizTalk Server 2009 is now available.
Windows Defender Potential Interaction with BizTalk BRE
March 28, 2009If you are running both BizTalk BRE and Windows Defender, you may want to note that the BizTalk 2006 R2 documentation at MSDN has been updated recently to take into account a recent interaction with Windows Defender. The issue with Windows Defender was corrected immediately, and the fix for affected machines is simply adding localhost back to the hosts file.
This is the 2006 R2 documentation, but I believe the issue could also affect 2004, 2006, and 2009 Beta.
Thanks to the BRE survey participants
December 6, 2008Many thanks to those readers who participated in the Microsoft BizTalk BRE survey that Charles Young pointed to in his blog.
In the future, I will endeavor to link to such surveys from this blog as well.
Charles mentioned in his post that he would liked to have seen a more “forward looking” survey, but hasn’t (as yet) followed up with any clarifications.
If you missed the survey, or have comments regarding it – I would love to hear from you.
