BizTalk Services

Last August I was invited, with a few other Architects, to a .NET 3.5 Design Review hosted by the Connected Systems Division. That was the first time I saw the prototype of some “services” that the Connected Systems Division is working as part of a Software as a Service initiative. Today, the first CTP of “BizTalk Services” was officially released with two services “BizTalk Identity Service” and “BizTalk Connectivity Service”. Future releases plan to include the “BizTalk ServiceBus Services” and “BizTalk Workflow Services”
