Exchange 2007 to RTM in December
|
Exchange Server 2007 will be released to manufacturing in December and be available to customers within a number of days after that, Microsoft officials have confirmed. |
The formal announcement of Exchange 2007's RTM date was made in David Lemson's keynote on November 7 at the Exchange Connections conference.
Lemson is the product unit manager for Exchange, and his keynote was blogged by Exchange MVP Paul Robichaux.
This means that the product will not be immediately available to Microsoft's business customers at the company's Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange 2007 launch event on November 30.
Lemson said that Microsoft has over 80,000 production mailboxes deployed on Exchange 2007, while Ferris Research says many of Microsoft's closely managed Customer Technology Adoption Program (CTAP) participants have also deployed a portion of their production infrastructures.
"A number of Rapid Deployment Program (RDP) customers are also in various stages of production deployment. Partner Technology Adoption Program (PTAP) members have been working on building solutions around Exchange 2007 now for as long as 18 months," a Ferris research note says.
