Microsoft Ships 'E-12' Code, Ajax RTC Client

"A flurry of news around Microsoft’s communications lineup last week included shipment of Exchange Server 12 beta to 1,400 testers and availability of Office Communicator Web Access, a lightweight Ajax-based client. A broader Beta 2 of “E-12” is due in mid-2006, with final code expected late that year or early the next, Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft said. When it ships, the product could capitalize on the planned concurrent rollout of Office 12. E-12 has “robust integration with those tools,” said Ken Winell, CTO of VisAlign, a King of Prussia, Pa., solution provider." Source: crn.com
