Microsoft to offer peek at new tools
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates will offer a glimpse Friday of future versions of the company's Visual Studio.Net development tools bundle. The Redmond, Wash.-based software maker said this summer that it plans to revamp its tools to work with new products expected to ship in the coming months. Those products include Windows.Net Server, the next version of Microsoft's server operating system, and an upcoming release of the company's SQL Server database code-named Yukon.
At the Object Oriented Programming Systems Languages and Applications (OOPSLA) conference on Friday, Gates is expected to disclose further details of an update to Visual C++, planned for release early next year as part of a Visual Studio.Net update code-named Everett.
