Microsoft has given solution provider partners and ISVs the green light to use WinFX workflow and Web services code in production well before Windows Vista ships. The Redmond, Wash., software giant on Wednesday announced the availability of GoLive licenses for the Windows Communications Foundation, formerly code-named Indigo, and the Windows Workflow Foundation, both of which are server-side technologies.
The two core WinFX technologies are significant enhancements in the Windows Vista upgrade. While the industy awaits the delivery of Vista in late 2006, ISVs and channel partners can begin deploying the workflow and Web services technology on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, as well as Windows Vista beta code.
