Microsoft roadmap leads to 'Oslo'

Microsoft just shipped the latest release of BizTalk Server and is preparing to launch Visual Studio 2008 with .NET Framework 3.5, but it's already presenting a roadmap to its vision for application development tools coming over the next few years.
Why? Because development ? particularly for so-called "composite" applications ? is becoming unmanageably complex, officials say. So Microsoft is going to move to "model-driven" development.
That's the message this week out of the company's fifth annual Service-Oriented Architecture and Business Process Conference being held on Microsoft's sprawling Redmond, Wash. campus.
