After multiple delays, Microsoft has officially released two applications: SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 on November 6th. These are highly anticipated products among users.
According to a representative from Microsoft, the reason for the repeated delays in the release of SQL Server 2005 was that the company’s engineers aimed to enhance its performance, especially in terms of reliability and security. SQL Server 2005 is an enterprise database program used for storing and managing business data.
Meanwhile, Visual Studio 2005 is a software suite designed for application development, an essential component for large enterprises. Microsoft also announced that it will launch BizTalk Server 2006 next year, which will function to oversee and audit all business operations.
To promote SQL Server and BizTalk Server, Microsoft stated that it will offer free versions of these two programs for personal use, allowing users to create their own databases, websites, and software applications.
