Windows 7 Ultimate Life beyond Windows 7 Microsof

Think it or not, Microsoft is nevertheless developing enterprise products apart from Windows 7 and Workplace 2010. While those two are garnering most of the headlines and interest recently, other Microsoft item teams are nevertheless chugging along, rolling out updates and readying new variations.Right here are just several with the latest updates which have run into my RSS reader:Dynamics CRM/ERP: Microsoft has altered the support policy for service packs for its Dynamics line (Dynamics CRM,Microsoft Office 2007, AX, GP, SL and NAV). Based on Microsoft;s Support site,Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key, people will now get “24 months of support for a previous service pack,Windows 7 Home Premium, when a new service pack is released. Previously, when a new services pack was released for these products,Windows 7 Ultimate, Microsoft provided 12 months of assistance for the previous company pack.” Those currently deploying a currently supported Dynamics CRM or ERP support pack will get an additional 12 months of free assistance. Microsoft also is reactivating support for several Dynamics support packs that had expired, but would be grandfathered in under the 24-month policy. There;s no change in the dates for extended, paid assistance for these service packs.
Office Communications Server: Microsoft has made licensing changes around the instant-messaging connectivity supported by its Office Communications Server (OCS) product. Microsoft is renaming the Live Communications Server Public IM Connectivity (LCS PIC) license to “Workplace Communications Server Public IM Connectivity (OCS PIC). Those with certain OCS Client Access Licenses (CALs) will no longer require additional licenses to federate with Windows Live — but nevertheless will require them to federate with AOL and Yahoo. Windows Live Federation offers people the option to add Windows Live Contacts to their Office Communicator contact lists,Windows 7 Ultimate, view presence status and send/receive IMs between the two items. The OCS licensing changes took effect July 1.Commerce Server: Last we heard about Commerce Server, Microsoft was planning quite a lot of releases — including the 2009 Commerce Server “Mojave” release and the 2009 R2 “Mojave R2″ release. Microsoft is in the final throes of recruiting Technology Adoption Program (TAP) testers who want to check out the private R2 test release. Microsoft released Commerce Server 2009 to manufacturing in March 2009. The R2 release is looking like an early 2010 product, at this point. The Commerce Server team said to expect yet another Commerce Server release in late 2010 or early 2011. No word on what that one will be codenamed and officially designated.
