Microsoft;s overzealous .Net branding campaign is often a pretty much a factor of the past. But that doesn;t mean the .Net confusion is completely over.Microsoft;s attempt to juggle also a large number of .Nets is coming residence to roost with testers writing workflow-centric apps and services which will be hosted within the Azure cloud. In a posting towards the Azure Companies Platform weblog last week, Microsoft officials admitted that .Net Solutions was depending on a unique, older edition of .Net — and that the newer edition wouldn;t be ready in time for Azure;s official launch (which is expected this fall).Microsoft;s .Net Companies is one with the infrastructure components of its Azure cloud-computing platform. .Net Services is the uber-name for the access control, service bus, queuing,
Microsoft Office Home And Student, routers and workflow technologies powering Microsoft;s cloud platform. .Net Framework 4.0 is the version with the .Net Framework that can be part of Visual Studio 2010, slated to ship in late 2009 or early 2010.In a June 12 posting entitled “Upcoming Important Changes to Microsoft .NET Workflow Service,” the .Net Solutions team explained what;s happening:“An area of consistent discussion is the Microsoft .NET Workflow Service delivered via .NET Solutions, and how it relates towards the Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) inside the .NET Framework. One of the comments that we’ve consistently heard about the .NET Workflow Service is that you want the Workflow Service to be built on .NET Framework 4‘s workflow engine. This is currently not the case,

Since there will be important changes towards the Workflow Service before it goes to full production,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, we are planning to take down the existing Workflow Service as part of service improvements within the month of July.”In accordance to the weblog posting,
Microsoft Office Standard 2010 Product Key, the .Net Providers team is planning a sixth Community Technology Preview of its technology next month — one that will remove the Workflow component with the .Net Solutions platform. If you;re a tester/developer whose application and/or service makes use of .Net Workflow, you have until July 1 to modify your product “in order to continue functioning smoothly,” the .Net Solutions team said.Any testers out there affected by this Microsoft shift,

Do you think Microsoft is behaving responsibly or making a dumb move?(Thanks to Roger Jennings of the Oakleaf Systems blog for the pointer to final week;s Azure Solutions Platform weblog posting.)One alot more factor: Microsoft plans to announce Azure licensing and pricing at its Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans in July, company officials told me recently.
