Complex .Net migration worries users | |
|

Microsoft has clarified the migration path for Exchange on Windows 2000 to .Net, but the complex answer could be a taste of wider migration issues ahead. The software giant confirmed that Exchange Server 2000 will not run on its .Net Server operating system, and that users will have to wait until at least next year to migrate to .Net Exchange, codenamed Titanium. Titanium is due in beta this month with a final release scheduled for the first half of 2003. Microsoft has promised that Titanium will be backwards compatible with Windows 2000 (with Service Pack 3 installed), making it possible to upgrade to Titanium before upgrading to .Net itself. | ||

This is completely inexcusable. It was understandable that E2K required W2K because of AD. But there isn't a good reason that Microsoft couldn't roll up its sleeves and get E2K SP3 (or even SP4) to work with .NET Server, especially since there's still time left to change .NET Server.
How can Microsoft expect ISVs to make third-party apps compatible with .NET Server if they can't make their own apps compatible with their own OS? How can they expect customers to deploy .NET Server when mission-critical apps like messaging can't move? It's not just that this issue pisses me off. It's also completely bewildering. This can only hurt sales of .NET Server (or E2K, or both). How can they be so stupid and lazy? Did the Exchange group just wake up and say, "Uh, we didn't know a new OS was coming"? |

| You can't always maintain backwards compatibility, so ,.|.. ..|., you too! |
