I've had a chance to review the content going in and I can say this book will definitely be a must-have for any CS2007 user's library.

At this time last year, Commerce Server 2007 (CS2007) hit worldwide general availability. We couldn’t let the occasion pass without some kind of appropriate encore, so we figured the long-term product roadmap announcement might just suffice. It has been a long time coming – perhaps too long – but we truly wanted to rethink this... Continue Reading →

Inscribed on Frank Sinatra's tombstone and the subject of his famous 1964 song of the same name, I think it is appropriate moniker of the next few months for Commerce Server. Or perhaps I just have Vegas on the brain from having just seen Ocean's 13. I personally am nearing the end of a long... Continue Reading →

For my official post on Web Hosting, I wanted to chronicle some of the efforts we have had ongoing around Longhorn Server Beta 3, which shipped yesterday (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/longhorn/default.mspx). E-Week presented a great article on this and some of our team's efforts with respect to this launch - available at http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2122094,00.asp. One of the key aspects...

I have been quiet, but it's all done in the sake of working on cool stuff that I can't yet talk about. 😉 As they say at the movie theatre, silence is golden. What I will say is that in addition to continue to work on all things e-commerce, I have taken on some new... Continue Reading →
