Answer 1

Does this mean we can speak publicly about it yet?

Answer 2

Hi,

The link seems corrupt or broken, although I did get to the site initially and downloaded the beta succesfully. I even was able to install it on Virtual Machine, see my latest post. I do not know if it was MS intention, but it has been around in TAP program for a while and site looked really MS with all links to documentation ect. It might be corrected in the near future.

Answer 3

Guys, Microsoft have been pre-releasing early BizTalk details by mistake quite often lately. Please refrain from forwarding these until there is an official announcement by Microsoft, which shouldn't be too far now.

Answer 4

Hey until this is offical, if anyone got a copy downloaded like Nick Heppelston (http://www.modhul.com/2010/05/18/biztalk-server-2010-beta-released/), just let me know any bugs and I will add them to the Connect site for the BizTalk 2010 beta.

Thanks,

Thaiago,

Have you heared any serious problem with this release?

I did download already yesterday. I didn't get chance to install yet, planning to do in the weekend.

Answer 6

Mohan, the MVPs have not been given the ok to talk about the release openly yet (leak or not). I do not know of any "serious problem" but since it is beta software take some normal due dilligence - install only on a VM that is not mission critical. A fresh VM (clean OS) is reccomended unless you are testing an upgrade.

Thanks,
