Microsoft is set to release an embedded database for small devices, taking its first step in a plan to bring updates to its flagship SQL Server database every two to three years.
Microsoft said on Monday that it is combining its Exchange e-mail server unit with the group that handles corporate instant messaging, the latest in a series of organisational changes at the world's largest software maker.
Microsoft may be rushing headlong into online services targeted to consumers. But for its all-important business customers, the software giant has been taking a more measured approach.
After numerous delays, the next editions of Microsoft's main software development products SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 will be available in November.
Microsoft has released another test version of its forthcoming SQL Server 2005 database and has introduced a free management tool.
Microsoft this week gave customers a look at forthcoming development and management tools that are part of the company's long-term plans for the product.
