Microsoft on Tuesday released a test version of Commerce Server 2002, its latest software for building e-commerce Web sites. The upgrade offers several new features, including the ability to support multiple languages and currencies. It also boasts tight integration with Microsoft's forthcoming Visual Studio.Net suite of software development tools, allowing programmers to create custom features for their e-commerce Web sites, Microsoft executives said.
Commerce Server lets Web site operators manage catalogs of products and services and tailor the content to customers' preferences. It also provides developers with the tools needed for building the online buying and payment processes.
