The Commerce Server team demonstrated Microsoft Commerce Server 2009, at the recent National Retail Federation 2009 Expo.  I did not attend, but I just noticed a Commerce Server 2009 overview document from the event.  Useful, if you want a quick introduction.

This image is also from the document (although not itself, hugely enlightening).

So, I blog about the Commerce Server 2009 CTP and two days later Microsoft go and ship the Commerce Server 2009 Release Candidate!  Congratulations to the Microsoft and Cactus teams for shipping regularly.  Looking forward to playing with the bits.  Download Commerce Server 2009 Release Candidate.

Er, about a month ago, Microsoft released a CTP of Commerce Server 2009 (the product formerly known as Commerce Server Mojave).  This is the first feature complete release of the product, unlike the previous Mojave CTPs.  Changes include the completed "out-of-the-box" SharePoint site and a package that "seamlessly" upgrades existing CS 2007 deployments.  Download Commerce Server 2009 CTP.

Old news I know, but I was surfing Playa Guiones (Costa Rica) at the time (hence the gratuitous holiday photo placement).

If you are using the Commerce Server 2009 CTP, don't forget you can submit feedback on the Microsoft Commerce Server Connect Site.
