Today, Microsoft announced a set of new enhancements to the .NET Framework and Windows Server.  The enhancements include increased functionality to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), as well as a new set of enhanced app server capabilities codenamed “Dublin.” Together, these enhancements represent a significant step forward for Microsoft’s application server, and will facilitate the role of IT by reducing the complexity of composite applications while providing more deeply integrated process capabilities. Microsoft will also be providing a first CTP of the WCF/WF enhancements and Dublin at PDC, giving customers and partners the opportunity to provide feedback on these new capabilities.
