Microsoft unveils Exchange Server 2010 RC
By Jennifer Scott,
Microsoft’s exchange server 2010 release candidate (RC) is now available to download from the TechNet website.
The launch will see 10 million people testing the RC, according to a post on the Microsoft exchange team blog. The RC features a new management pack, a remote connectivity analyser and a load generator.
Michael Atalla, group product manager for exchange, said in the post: “If Exchange were a standalone business, it would be the ninth largest software company in the world."
The post also claimed that Exchange had annual revenues of almost $2 billion (£1.2 billion) and a market share of 65 per cent.
The RC is supported by both Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and can run alongside previous versions of Exchange – Exchange Server 2007 or 2003.
Although an official date for the final version is not confirmed, Microsoft said it would arrive later this year.
