BizTalk Server 2010 Released to Manufacturing!

The BizTalk team announced today that the latest version of BizTalk Server, BizTalk Server 2010, has been released to manufacturing. It will be available for purchase starting October 1 2010.

The Developer and Evaluation Editions are available effective today at the links below.

For those of you that were working with the public beta, your results may vary, but I was able to do an in-place upgrade from the BETA to the RTM with no issues at all, all BizTalk applications/settings/artifacts/BAM/etc were maintained. Nice!

The Developer Edition (which is now FREE) download is available here:
