BizTalk Server 2006 R3 Announced
Big announcement today from Steve Martin, director of product management for Microsoft's Connected Systems Division (CSD), announcing an update of the BizTalk Server for the 2008 Wave technologies. It will be called BizTalk Server 2006 R3.
It will also be updated with the following SOA-related features:
- New web service registry capabilities with support for UDDI v3.0
- Enhanced service enablement of applications through new and enhanced adapters
- Enhanced service enablement of “edge” devices through BizTalk RFID Mobile

Some of this is getting functionality early but the main "goodies" will be in Oslo.
